HEAVY DEATH ROLL FEARED
STRONG GALE HITS
JAMAICA
LONDON, Aug. 17. A HEAVY death roll is feared as the result of a violent gale which struck Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, and other towns on the south of the Island on the night of August 18. The number of dend is at present known to be 38, while hundreds were injured. Govern- ment and private property sustain- ed extensive damage.
Reports from. other parts of the" Island are scanty, but it appears that the main farce of the storm was centred on: the parishes of Kingston, St. Andrew, St. Thomas and St. Katherine. -
In the capital, lack of water added to the horrors of the terrible haroc, and rescue workers were em- ployed day and night to repair 'the burst supply pipes Another grave handicap was the interrup- tion of all communications with Kingston.
All roads leading put of the city were blocked and bridges swept away, while the railway service was brought to a standstill.
