THE MAURlTlUS HURRICANE.
Details Of the Worst Storm of the Con-
tury.

| turY.
MARSEILLES, June 2.-The mails
which have just arrived from Maui
rltluS confirm the statement that twelve
hundred persons were killed and four
thousand injured in the recent hurri-
cane. The hurricane was preceded by
violent magnetic disturbance. The
sea rose niue feet, the highest level
since the cyclone of 1918. Scarcely a
house in the colony escaped damage.
Many churches and public buildings
were destroyed. The fine Church of
the Immaculate Conception is in ruins.
The Cathedral, however, by a strange
chance escaped.
The dead include large number of
leading inhabitants. Fearful sights
were witnessed in the streets. One
factory collapsed, killing two hundred
Indians. One half of the sugar crop
was destroyed. Planters losses are in
calculable. n special relief loan of
96O,OOO will be obtained from the i'm
perlal Government to be repaid in
twenty-five years.
During the whole summer the wealth
er in Mauritius was unusually hot.
On April q, two days prior to the hur
ricane, the heat was dreadful. This,
together with the roar of the surf on
the coral reefs, which was heard for
miles inland, indicated that somethin q
unusual was about to happen. On
Friday, the Goth the day broke stormy,
yet there was no thought of very
serious results. Business men went to
Port Louis, leaving their wives and
families in the country. The observa-
| tory reported that the storm would be
of short duration.
The first intimation of trouble was
the non arrival Of trains and the cut
ting OF telegraph wires. Suddenly,
| about noon, there was heard a furious
kissing, and then the pent up storm
broke, rushing upon the town from the
northwest. For ninety minutes "a
pltllesS tornado ragged, accompanied by
Il deluge Of rain. Buildings collapsed,
| roofs were blown off and trees blown
down. The barometer fell one inch
and then suddenly began to rise, tho
Wlnd lulled, the blue Sky and the sun
appeared, and many people went out,
believing that all danger was past.
The more experienced, however, pre-
dicted that the worst was to come.
The sea had already surrounded and
made Islands of the chief buildings.
At 3 o'clock, without warning, the
wind burst upon the town again in
I"olold violence from directly the OPP
poslte quarter. It's velocity was one
hundred and twenty miles per hour,
and its fury was maintained for two
hours. Each blast was worse :han the
preceding, filing people with terror.
The centre Of the storm was directly
over Port Louis. At 6 O'Clock the
weather was again calm, except for an
occasional gust, and people were era.
bled to go out and see the work Of de.
StructiOn.
Fires then broke out IN the eastern
suburbs and destroyed what the wind
had spared. a survivor says that the
whole desolation in Labourdonnais
street was caused by a single deadly
blast. Occupants of houses there rushed
about with piercing shrieks to meet
death or torture, or escaped being
crushed under the ruins Of their homes
only to be manned by dying debris, and
then to lie huddlcd together until res
cue was possible.
