400 PERSONS DROWNED
Tidal Wave Swept Over Eighty Of
the South Sea Islands.
WERE COMPLETELY INUNDATED
Natives Were Compelled to Take to
coeoanut Trees When Water Cow
cred the Land-surViVors Destitute
of Food. Shelter and Clothing.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-News or a
fearful loss of life in a destructive
storm that swept over the South Sea
Islands last month reached here yes
terday by the steamer MaripOsa direct
from Tahiti. The loss Of life is esti-
mated at 1000 persons. On January
13 last a huge tidal wave, accom-
panied by a terrific hurricane, at
tackled the Society Islands and the
Tuomotu group with fearful force,
causing death and devastation never
before equalled in a land OF dreaded
storms.
The storm ragged several days.
reaching its maximum strength be-
tween January IA and January 16.
From the meager details received at
Tahiti up to the time the vessel sailed
it is estimated that 1000 of the
islanders lost their lives. 1t is feared
that later advices will increase this
number.
The first news of the disaster reach
ed Papeeta, Tahiti, January 26 by the
schooner Eimeo. The captain of the
schooner placed the fatalities at 500.
The steamer Excelsior arrived at Pa
peeta the following day with 400 des-
titute survivors. The captain of the
Excelsior estimated the total loss OF
life to be 500. On Hikuera Island,
where 1000 inhabitants were engaged
in pearl diving, nearly one-half were
drowned. On an adjacent island 100
more were washed out to sea.
The number of islands visited by the
tidal wave is placed at so. The sur
viving inhabitants are left destitute
of food. shelter and clothing. all hav-
ing been swept away by the storm.
AS the islands we're barely 90 feet
above sea level and were not sur
rounded by coral reefs, it was neces-
sarv for all the inhabitants to take to
the cocoanut trees when the tidal
wave began to cover the land. These
trees grow to an immense height, many
reaching an altitude of 100 feet. All
of the lower trees were covered by the
raging seas which swept with pitiless
force about and over them. The ma
tives in the taller trees were safe un-
til the cocoanut roots gave way, and
then they too were swept out into the
sea.
The 400 survivors brought by the
Excelsior to Papeeta gained the ships
side by swimming three and four miles
from the tops of the cOcOanut trees.
The Eimeo. though badly damaged by
the storm. also brought off as many
persons as could swim to her sides,
she, like the Excelsior. being unable
to run close to the shores because of
the violence of the ocean swells. which
Continued to run abnormally high for
a week after the tidal disturbances.
The French government, upon re-
ceipt of the disaster, took prompt
measures to relieve the distressed dis
tricts and dispatched two warships
with fresh water and provisions. The
Italian man-of-war Calabria accOmpan-
led the French vessels on their errand
of mercy. AS the supply of fresh wa
ter and provisions was totally ex-
hausted by the storm, it is feared that
many lives will be lost before the re-
lief ships can arrive. AS far as is
known, eight white people were
annOu0 tha drowned

The complete Hyomei treatment con-
