TELEPHONES.

Extent of Damage.

Practically all the telephone routes were down and it will be weeks before all the communications are restored. The Time Ball has been temporarily put in working order and the Central Police Station is in connection with the C.S.O. Exchange. It has been impossible to test the cables as the Kowloon end of the 8-cored cable has been dragged from the cable hut and is buried in the sand at present. It is being dug out and will be tested as soon as the end is free. Several boats and lighters dragged their anchors through the cable reserve and some of the cables were lifted when the anchors were weighed. Communica- tion with Observatory has been restored owing to Telephone Co. kindly lending the Government a core

in their cable.
