led the islands under a blanket OF
sand from the oceans bed. This wave
rendered 1900 homeless and $50 men,
women and children were drowned on
one island. Twenty-Five persons were
lost on another of the small islands.
The typhoon lasted three days. All
the trees and shrubbery were either
uprooted or buried in the sand. When
the tidal wave occurred and swept
over the land hundreds Of natives
were saved by swimming about until
the waters receded.
