The Recent Hurricane In Fiji

Great havoc was wrought by a hurricane which visited Western Fiji in February. The Lautoka district particularly was affected. The above photographs (for which we are indebted to Mr. A. E.

Tilley) give a striking indication of the damage done at Lautoka. But the community quickly repaired much of the damage and few signs of the “blow” remain. The photographs are: (1) The Residence of the District Commissioner (Mr. R. N. Caldwell). (2) The Sigatoka Passenger Train was blown off the line. (3) The ruin that was formerly the 9-roomed bungalow of Mr. C.

Israel, Manager for Messrs. Morris Hedstrom Ltd. (4) All that was left of the residence of Mr.

E. J. Pratt. (5) Mr. A. Thompson’s large bungalow was turned completely over, on top of an adjoining house. (6) Remains of the Shipping Office at Morris Hedstrom’s branch.
