that some other town is not reserved for a super

Destroyed by Cyclone.

The most destructive cyclone ever
experienced in the Society and Tua
motu islands occurred on February Z
and s. The damage in Tahiti is es.
timated at $1,000.000 and presumably
similar amount of property was de.
stroyed on the Tuamotu islands. The
city of Papeete was inundated and
about seventy-five buildings destroyed
including the American consulate and
the French government building.
The shipping in the harbor of Pa.
peete escaped injury owing TO the d.
rection of the wind. but fears are en-.
tertained for vessels which were cruis
ing near the Tuamotu islands.
1t Is feared that there has been
heavy loss of life in the lagoons OF
Tuamotu islands, though the death OF
the guardian of the quarantine sta.
ton in Papeete is the only fatality
yet reported.
The schooner Papeete was sub.
merged for an hour near Anaa, Tua.

estimated that the waves were sixty.

In the daytime the sailors had to be
dashed TO the vessel.
The San Francisco Evening Post
states that 10000 persons persisted dur.
ing the storm on Tahiti and adjacent
islands, several of which. it's account
says, have disappeared. 1t places thc
damage at s5.000,000.
