Fury Of
Hurricane
The devastating hurricane that struck the Cook Islands in mid- December (PIM, Jan., p. 22) left a trail of havoc on the main island of Rarotonga, especially in the main settlement of Avarua, as these pictures show. The top picture shows what happened at Joe Browne's bakery. Above is the fishing boat Haku Nui , which had been beached, and which was holed in the bow and jammed between the U.S.S. Co. shed and the Agriculture Offices. At right is the sorry picture of the U.S.S.
Co. wharf at Avarua after the big blow.
