an aneurism, lies buried under the ruins. In this caße death is certain. Though some repugnance may be felt at the fact that at least two dead bodies are lying undiscovered there is occasion for but the slightest hope in O'Brien's case. It Was only forestalling en early death in any case. All the outbuildings, including the Chinese ward with five patients and the Asiatic ward with one patient, were levelled to the ground, or at least so destructively assailed that hardly a stick is left standing. The wardsman's quarters shared a similar fate. The main building began to show signs of the effects of the fury of .the gale. With every gust of wind the iron roof seemed to shrivel and loosen. Dr. Bacot, in the midst of his other duties, found time to direct the removal of all the female patients from the top storey, as, warned by the fate of the Harvey ward, he dreaded the unroofing and subsequent demolition of the main building. The whole verandah was stripped from this building. The charming elevated cover-ed-way°from the central hospital to the Harvey ward was distributed in fragments over the grounds, which present a scene of unequalled destruction. Tlie trees, which the day before were in luxuriant foliage, were completely stripped, and everywhere unimaginable scenes of vrreck are to be viewed. The doctor's private room has suffered, also the operating room and a room which has been utilised for the treatment of outpatients. An aggravation of the miseries entailed was the arrival of a continual stream of accident cases, with injuries all due to the effects of the o-ale. They were in many cases very serious. Added to this was the arrival of people in pitiful circumstances whose homes had been destroyed—utterly demolished in many instances —who were compelled to seek the friendly shelter of the handiest public institutions. Of course shelter was not refused, but with the kitchens destroyed and the impossibility of cooking food no sustenance could be offered.

The condition of affairs was pitiful. Neither patients nor staff through all this trying time had been able to obtain any food since breakfast, and, more serious still, the typhoid patients were without milk or the delicacies which are absolutely necessary to their successful treatment. There are at present between 70 and 80 indoor patients at the hospital, and about 12 of these are typhoid patients. Dr. Bacot expressed the opinion that it was absolutely necessary that a lent hospital should be immediately erected in the grounds. The tornado that came in with such fury on Monday went out with mildness during the night. Towards morning rain fell in torrents, and by 10 o'clock the weather had cleared up. Nothing was left to remind one of the terrible power of the cyclone but the wrecks of residences, shops, hotels, and public buildings. What with sheets of galvanised iron, rafters, and other debris strewn about in all directions, the streets, particularly the lower end of Flindersstreet, resembled a town after a siege when bombardment had been particularly effective.
