San Francisco, May 1.-THE steamer
Mariposa arrived today from Australia
bringing additional news Of the ty-
phoon and tidal wave at Pearl island
grounds In the middle OF January. The
French government has investigated
the disaster and found that about 500
islanders perish9d during the storm.
The property loss Is half million dol
lars. After the wind had subsided
and the waters had receded hundreds
of the drowned natives were found tied
to trees about the place.
Hiuueru, one Of the islands visited
by the deluge was best able to with
stand its force. as its highest place is
II feet above the ocean. Residents
fiocked to the heights and sought safe
ty by binding themselves to rocks and
trees. There they remained for three
or four days in which the storm swept
over the dreadful scene.
The islands of Hao, Morakau, and
Hiqueru are practically washed away.
They are Mt present little above sea
level, and are destitute OF vegetation,
On them man cannot subsist as the
soil is vanished, and cocoanut trees are
dried up dead.
