The wind was not comparable with
the hurricane Of 1906 and 1909, its
highest velocity being about eighty
miles an hour The rainfall. however

doubtless has involved great danger

This is true especially as regards
the latter crop in the Vuelta Abajo
where grows the finest tobacco in the

doubtless been destroyed. the season
being now too far advanced to permit
