BROTHER L. A. ROTH, at Papeete, Tahiti, writes concerning the late disaster in that region, that a terrific windstorm coming from the opposite direction from that of the tidal wave saved much property and possibly many lives. The wind counteracted in great measure the force of the waves. The damages are estimated at $1,000,000. He adds: "We are doing all we can to show the people what the Bible says about these things. . . . Brother and Sister Cady and Brother and Sister Beckner are safe on the island of Huahine. Here, as well as at Raiatea, the storm and tidal wave did not do as much damage as on Tahiti."
