The violent hurricane which swept up the Caribbean Sea on Thursday last, devastating wide areas on the coast of Cuba and causing the loss of 100 lives, has struck the northern group of the Bahama Islandı. Five people are reported dead and eight are missing.

Tremendous damage was done at Harbour Island, where a large num- ber of houses were wrecked and the pier and wharves swept away. A huge tidal wave carried boats into the streets, and flooded all low-lying premises.
