Hurricane Devastates the Tuamotu Islands

The hurricane which visited the Tuamotu group of islands in the South Pacific, caused the death of 515 of the natives. Previous reports had placed the number of dead all the way from 400 to 1,000. The suffering of the survivors during and following the hurricane was most distressing, many, especially children, having died from sheer exposure.
