Destructive Pacific Storm Claims Thousands in South Seas
Reports from Tahiti and Papeete detail a massive cyclone tidal wave that struck the Society Islands and Tuamotu group in January. Estimated deaths range from 500 to 1,000, with 86 islands affected and tens of thousands left destitute, many clinging to tall coconuts as seas devoured shorelines. Survivors were rescued by ships Excelsior and Eimeo, while cocoanut trees saved some before roots failed. Losses include copra, pearl shells, and gems, with relief by French and Italian warships. Pressed by wrecked water supplies, more lives are feared lost before aid arrives.
