FEARFUL FLOODS IN SOUTH.
II Is Feared Many Lives viii be Lost
Before the Water Subsidies.

The flood situation in the portion Of
the Mississippi valley contiguous to
Memphis. Tenn. is extremely critical,
and reports of loss of life are at hand.
1t was thought at first that the break
In the levee at Holybush, near Trices
landing, would help matters by reliev.
ing the pressure of water and causing
a fall at this point. Instead Of this
the break has complicated conditions
by flooding vast area in Arkansas
across the Mississippi from Memphis,
and veritable sea exists in the st.
Francis and Mississippi river basins,
extending from one basin to the other,
a distance of many miles. From this
territory call for help has gone up
ed in their homes on high parts Of
the country, but thus far 1t has been
an impossibility to send them assist
ance.
A few floating bodies have been
found at various points by the rescu
ing boats, but the number has not yet
been alarming.
The st. Louis & San Francisco rail-
road runs through the st. Francis
country, but that company has an
nulled all trains, its tracks being I'M
der water near Marion, Ark. The
town of Marion is almost totally flood
ed, and citizens are using skiffs as
their only means of travel. Negroes
and white persons from the adjacent
territory are pouring into Marion
every hour, asking that boat be sent
to rescue their families. There is no
means Of reaching them except by
making break in the levee near
Memphis.

Islands.
The steamer Mariposa has arrived at
San Francisco from Australia, bringing
additional news of the typhoon and
tidal wave at the Pearl island group in
the middle of January. The French
government has investigated the disas.
ter and found that between 500 and 600
islanders persisted during the storm.
After the wind had subsidized and the
waters had receded, hundreds OF
drowned natives were found tied to tae
trees about the places.
Hikuera, one of the islands visited
by the deluge, was the best able to
withstand its force as its highest place
Is twelve feet above the ocean.
The residents flocked to the heights
and sought safety by binding them.
selves to the rocks and trees. There
they remained for three or four days
in which the storm swept over the
dreadful scene. Four hundred lives
were lost there. The islands of Hao,
Morakau and Hikuera are virtually
washed away. as they are at present
little above the sea level and are des-
titute of vegetation. On them man can
not subsist, as the soil has vanished
and the cocoanut trees are dried up
and dead.
On the island of Raroria the devasta.
ton is complete. Three-fourths of the
cocoanut trees were destroyed. houses
were cast down, the walls of the Cath
Ollie church and the prison were swept
away, and twelve of the inhabitants
were killed. At Amanu there were
three ~arsons killed by the cyclone.
An .Ig the survivors Of the awful
storm are Elders Cheffield and Allen
and Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert of the Latter
day Saints mission.
