this is very satisfactory and bountiful
harvest for the Indians, who catch and

BIG LOSS OF LIFE
a Hurricane Sweeps Over the
Ocean
wREckiNG MANY VESSELS
And Sending Devastation and Ruin
Broadcast Over the Waves Of the
'ndi n SEA and Isles

LONDON. May .o.--Adviees received
here from Nanritins state that a hurri,
cane unprecedented in its violence
passed over that island on April
20, causing enormous damage TO
shipping. A majority of the yes,
sells AT the island were blown
ashore. The western half of Port
Louis. the capital, was devastated.
Houses were blown down. gigantic
trees were uprooted and that part OF
the town was about wiped out Of ex.
istence. The loss Of life was appalling.
The exact number of dead is not
known. Every effort Is being made
by the authorities 70 alleviate the
suffering that has been esas~d by the
disaster. The governor has issued Or
ders for military tents to be distributed
TO shelter the homeless. and food is be-
ing issued TO those who have lost every
thing by tho storm. Half Of the crops
of sugar. rice. coffee and pepper have
been utterly ruined and the loss In this
direction is extremely heavy.
Mauritius.or as it is sometimes called.
Isle of France. has been noted for its
violent and destructive hurricanes. but
this one exceeds in destructiveness any
hitherto known. 1t lies in the Indian
ocean, and it is well known
~ tho scene Of the famous story
of Paul and Virginia" In that
story the author describes with great
minuteness . terrible hurricane that
passed over tho island, during which
Paul and Virginia lost their lives. But
the horror of that scene was far ex.
celled by this last one which has blown
the whole island into mourning. Yes
sells were dashed upon the coral reefa
that ara SO dangerous to navigation
about the island.
