Hurricane
THE only details received of the damage done by the hurricane which struck the northern section of the New Hebrides on the night of December 4 have been brought to Auckland by the Melanesian Mission’s motor vessel “Southern Cross”.
The island of Aoba appears to have been the worst sufferer. It is stated that all the buildings on the island were razed and great damage was done to all the plantations and crops. The native church and the school of the Melanesian Mission were destroyed. The greatest damage was done at the settlement of Lolowai, on Aoba, which is the central station of the southern Melanesian Mission.
