DAMAGE BY CYCLONE
WEST AUSTRALIAN COAST
EXTENSIVE FLOODS
PERTH, April 7.
Details of the cyclone on the NorthWest Coast show that iron telegraph polos wore bent like candles. The damago at Onslow is estimated at £80,000, mostly through the destruction of the jetty, 900 feet of which toppled into the sea.
:Port Hedland reports that the railway to Marble Bar is partly submerged. The train service is now suspended and Marble Bar supplies are running short. The Port Hedland landing ground is under water, and aeroplanes are held up at Broome.
