Captain Henry, of the island steamer Archer, which has just returned from a three months’ cruise through the Pacific, states that a very severe storm had burst over some of the islands, causing much damage, between March 12 and 16 a heavy gale of wind passed through the southern parts of the Ellice Group, and extended its destructive operations as far as the Gilbert Islands, doing great damage to property, many of the islands being almost inundated with salt water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Oaitipu, Anamona and Anamauca the mission houses were washed away. At Funafuti all the tara plantations were almost completely destroyed by salt water, which was driven inland by the terrific storm.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
About eight or 10 days after a lot of wreckage was washed ashore at the Marshall Group, which included a ships wheel, rudder, part of a lifeboat and various other articles belonging to a Dutch vessel, which had evidently come to grief during the storm.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
