Another hurricane has swept over this unfortunate island, overturning every house and laying the place iu ruins. Vesterday a gale broke from the east, i shortly afterwards shifting to the northeast, north-east, from which noint it blew more fiercely until noon, when the wind veered round to tlie north and fell upon the island in a terrific hurricane. It then shifted to the north-west, and blew with great violence vio-lence until five p.m., when there came a lull, which lasted until sis p.m. At this hour tho hurricane aguiu swept over the island from the south, but its duration was not so long as on its previous pre-vious visit; nor was its violence so great. Its term of greatest fury lasted only two hours. Closely following in the wake of the hurricane came an awful gale from the south and southeast, south-east, which raged for several hours. During the hurricane in the afternoon, several shocks of earthquake rendered more dreadful the situation of the people, who were hearing overhead the crash of roofs torn by the hurricine, aud obliged to feel, at the same time, under-foot the foundations of their shelters shaken by tho earthquake. Hundreds of dwellings have been swept away, and not a house is left standing undamaged on the island. Some sis thousand people are left houseless and destitute, and nearly a hundred and fifty persons are killed and mangled, or disabled by the houses blown down, or by flying bricks and tiles. Already' some thirty corpses have been dragged from the ruins. No serious casualties to the shipping are reported. The Island of St. Ivitts is said to be in ruins, as it was caught first by the hurricane. |
