HURRICANE IN WEST INDIES.
Things that Happen When 1t Really
Rains Hard in Jamaica.
From the New York Sun.


From the New YORK Sun.
Have you ever been through a West
Indian hurricane?" said a member or a
party discussing the recent storm in
Jamaica. do you want to know what
the experience is like?
"a hurricane viii leap out OF a clear
sky, swoop down on city, blow every
thing in its path fat and pass on Then
follows the tail OF the hurricane, a steady
breeze blowing in the same direction, but
at much lower velocity This is likely
TO continue for many hours. sometimes
for many days, and is always accom-
panied by a torrential downpour Of rain.
i was in Kingston, jamaica, at the
time Of the hurricane OF 1903. At o'clock
in the afternoon was In my Office on
the top floor OF a rickety wooden build
ing. AS suddenly as a clap Of thunder
the room went dark.
II had pretty good idea of what was
about to happen. and going to the win
dow looked out across the roofs. A black
cloud had whirled up out OF the south
west. obscuring the sun, but the noun
tains back of the city were stin golden
with light
I'm less than quarter of an hour the
wind reached us. The first structure that
went was wooden watch tower, about
200 feet high. that had been used in the
old days to locate ships approaching the
harbor. It had weathered all previous
hurricanes, but this time it went down
like house Of cards. Spars OF lumber
from that tower were carried as far as
twenty blocks before reaching the ground.
Then a spire Of church went, the
roofs of a good many residences were
torn off. and some fine palm trees in the
public gardens snapped off about half
way from the ground. Buildings in
Kingston. however. are calculated 10
stand pretty severe blow. They are
built only a few stories high and the
roofs present a broad and comparatively
fat surface to the wind. Considering the
velocity at which that hurricane was
travelling the damage was not great, even
my crazy office building withstood it;
but the tail of the thing followed. with a
heavier rain than I have ever seen be-
fore or since. To say that 1t came down
in bucketfuls would be mild. It was as
if the clerk OF the weather had taken the
plug out of some huge vat suspended
above our heads and allowed the water
to plump straight down on us.
In three hours the macadam on the
streets had been washed into the harbor.
The street outside my window was a rush
ing river as much as four feet deep In
places. ! saw a cart try to cross II, but
with the water above the axle OF the
wheel and the horses legs being washed
away from under it. it was an impossible
task and the driver turned back. Big
casks and packing cases were dancing on
the surface like corks.
CAS- you can imagine, I did not get home
to supper that evening. It was o'clock
before the rain stopped and the water
in the streets had drained into the har-
Dor. Even then traffic had not begun to
reorganize itself.
