storm on the oath of January, which resulted
in an enormous destruction of property and
loss of life. Within the circle of the storm the
wind blew at the rate of 100 miles an hour

scene is described as having been terrible
The sea rose to an almost unprecedente ed
height. and the force of the wind was greater
tnan had been experienced there for years
The waves, Notwithstanding the fact that the
harbor is sheltered by several outlying islands,
swept the shore and drove several ships, which
were lying at anchor in the port, upon the
rocks and wrecked them completely. Houses
were unroofed or blown down altogether, in
many cases crushing the inhabitants beneath
the ruins. In this locality and other adiace mt
islands the effects of the cyclone were less pro-
nounced only because there was less to destroy.
The course of the storm was southwestern,
and was supposed to have crossed the whole
width of the Pacific, from the direction of the
northern coast of South America or Mexico,
subsiding before reaching the shores o Aus,

donia speak of great destruction of life and
