This photograph graphically depicts the trail of destruction left at Vila in the New Hebrides, after a hurricane had struck in December. About 30 per cent. of homes were destroyed or damaged. Aid, in the form of men and supplies, is now being given by several Pacific territories, including Australia. In the har bour is the French frigate "La Confiance", which raced in with supplies and later itself to leave for repairs.
