At this place the typhoon reached its greatest intensity at about 2.30 p.m. Many small nipa houses were destroyed, zinc roofs were torn off in many instances and banana and hemp plants uprooted generally.

At Camp Humpus one set of soldiers' quar. ters was blown flat to the ground and all struc tures there of nipa and, bamboo considerably damaged. The officers' quarter being coa- tracted of more substantial materials were apparently uninjured.

Part of the building used by the constabulary as quarter was unroofed and sides blown in and some stores were damaged,

The provincial stables were unroofed and a scow and small row boat belonging to the pro vince were blown out lato the bay and cannot tre located. Full reports are lacking as to the "condition of the roads and bridges out of Tacloban, but it is very probable that consider
