the extent which the eastern did New

partly destroyed and the orange and cof-
fee crops were also injured.
The southeastern portion of the island
has been completely denuded of it's crops,
the rivers are flooded and many were
carried out to sea and crowned. Consid-
ering the damage to property during the
hurricane the loss of life was compare
lively small, though the present estimate
now is that the death list will reach so.
