Hurricane at Suva Vou

By Editor

The "Union Conference Record" of May 9 contains letters from Brother and Sister Marriott, giving an account of the hurricane at Suva Vou, Fiji. It came the night of March 24, when the hurricane season was supposed to be over. Nearly every house in town was blown down. The mission house which was building was greatly wrecked, and the mission boat was somewhat damaged. All told, the damage to mission property aggregates nearly $2,000. Thank God, there were no deaths among our people, and but few among the native population, altho there was serious damage to shipping.
