Storm Ravages Samoa Causes Shipwrecks and Losses
A radio message from New Zealand's foreign affairs minister describes a New Year storm in Samoa that caused extensive damage to food stores and forests, with deaths and injuries. The steamer Lady Roberts ran aground, a trading launch wrecked off Watson's Lead, and a twenty ton reinforced concrete light carried away. Inhabitants claim the current storm was worse than the 1640s, which saw wrecks of U.S. and German warships and the British cruiser Calliope escaping destruction by heading seaward.
