THE STORM.
| The Kona side of the island received
the force of an unusually severe wind
| storm during the past week and some.
damage was done. The fact that such
a storm was occurring there would
not have been suspected by any one
here not familiar with the meteorology
of the locality, and it was only the old
timer, weather-wise from long observa-
ton. that read the signs and remark
ed that there was a big storm on the
other side of the island. The barom-
eter here was down to record point
or below Thursday, when the storm
reached it's height.
At Hamakua the storm was most
severe and the danger done by 1t con-
siderable. The smoke stack of the Ha-
makua mill went down at a. M
Thursday; the Honokaa stable was un-
rooted; several cottages in the vicinity
of Honokaa were blown down. In the
orange and peach orchards there was
much damage from injury to trees and
loss of fruit. The Hamakua telephone +
, system was badly demoralized and up
to Sunday night the wires had not been
, working north of Honokaa. Inter-Is-,
land craft were driven into Hilo bay
for shelter. The Mauna Loa was de-
, tained a day in Honolulu harbor on
account of the high wind and was un-
able to make way landings.
