STORM IS STILL RAGING.

dock and shut it up. A part of the
stable is a complete wreck and will
have to be rebuilt.
The wind started up at it's highest
about 1880 yesterday afternoon. Ire
mendous gusts came from the sea and
roared through the trees. Clouds hung
low, dark and threatening, but it did
not rain. II was like a March gale. The
first tree to go down was the big one
in the center of the paddock at the race
track. II fell across the stable, as
stated. King, the trainer was working
out Cunningham's PAGER and his boy
was jogging the running horse Abbey.
These animals occupied the wrecked
stalls and had they been in their usual
places would undoubtedly have been
killed. After this trees went down on
every side of the park from Campbell
avenue to the military post. The one
shutting up the paddock at the track
fell about the middle of the afternoon.
Another tree went across the fence on
the makai side. This morning the
place looked in very dilapidated con-
dition. The felled trees will have to be
removed before anything can be DONE
and then it will take several days to
repair the stable and paddock fences.

reports that the little sand island near
the light house has been almost COM
pletely washed away by the storm.
Breakers swept it's summit all of last
night and today, and at noon only a
small yellow crest showed itself above
the pillows. During the night the light
house keeper feared one of his windows
would blow out and tried to nail it
down. While engaged in this work, the
window was torn loose and dropped in
to the sea. 1t was recovered later in
two feet of water and is today doing
business at the old stand. The night
was an exceedingly bad one for the
family at the light house.
When the tug Fearless was bring
ing the b. p. Cheney in yesterday
the weather was very rough and the
vessel rolled heavily and dangerously
in the shallow water of the channel,
where drawing q feet of water, she
was in danger of humping. When she
got in the harbor her wench broke and
she parted lines when she tried to get
to the Pacific Mail wharf. Captain
Johnson dropped one anchor and put
out several more lines and the bark
was held, in the middle of the harbor
and much in the way. 1t was some time
before she could be moved with the
KOna whistling in her rigging and
threatening to tear her from her fast
enings.
The derrick at the sewer outlet was
blown over. Early in the morning
waves could be seen breaking over it
and at last it fell. Young Bros. launch
towed it into the harbor
on the inside reef near where the last
of the wreck of the Edward OBrien is
to be seen, one of Cotton Bros scows is
fast. 1t has valuable donkey engine
on it. The scow broke from its moor
ings and drifted clean across the harbor
fetching up clear of everything else, but
fast on the reef. "A force of men is at
work now, trying to save the scow and
engine.
The schooner Helene was blown on to
the mud at her anchorage and the big
ship Falls of Garry smashed one of her
own boats under her Stern at the navy
wharf.
! All over the harbor there was a hasty
tightening of mornings and strengthen
| ing of mornings and the vessels are
ready for a big blow now.
