Thousands Die Amid Devastation by
Hurricane and Monster Wave

Thousands Die Amid Devastation by
Hurricane and Monster Wave.
A disaster that recalls wildly the
Galveston flood has befallen the Society
and TuamOtu islands in the Pacific
Ocean, which have been swept by a
hurricane of awful violence and inun-
dated by enormous waves, the vista
ton causing Il loss of lives estimated
from hundreds to 10000 and property
damage that may reach $5,000,00O Pa
peete, the capital of the Island of Tahi-
ii, has been submerged, and its princi-
pal buildings crushed like shells, while
elsewhere whole villages have been
swept away. Some Of the islands are
said to have disappeared entirely
Thousands of persons have been made
homeless, and calls for relief have been
sent out by the resident cOnsuls to their
governments.
Details of the storm were brought to
San Francisco by the steamer MaripoSa,
though the vessel left Papeete before
the full extent of the destruction it
wrought had been ascertained. The
hurricane prevailed for sixteen hours
on Feb. 8, the wind reaching velocity
of more than 100 miles an hour, caus-
ing disturbance of unprecedented vio-
lence in the sea. The storm came up
in the night and reached its greatest
fury before warming could be given to
the inhabitants of the islands. Many
were swept away on the first great
waves. Others sought refuge in the
tops of cocoanut trees, and it is feared
that hundreds Of these latter victims
must have persisted on the smaller isl
ands from hunger, thirst or exposure,
before relief could be SEM TO them.
There is small American colony at
Papeete. and. while no fatalities among
it's members are reported by the Off
GERS of the Mariposa, they are certai'
that great distress and suffering must
follow the storm and 51at relief meas
ures will be necessary.
