the loss of life among the natives
of the island at the mouth of the

"To the east of Tamagming,
two islands, ,one called Yawoshwa.
the other Shihiousha, distant
about twenty miles from Woo

the typhoou, nearly all the in
habitants having been swept

been inhabited for short time,
comparatively speaking, as they
are of recent formation and are
not much ABOVE high water mark.
1t is reported that nearly 10000
people have been drowned on
these two islands and the smaller
islands adjacent. Tamagming it
self has not suffered much, being
well above the high water mark :"
