LASHED BY GALES
DARWIN PEARLING FLEET. [by CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. March 15, 12.30 p.m.) DARWIN, March 15. Heavy rain squalls swept the town over the week-end, flooding the houses whose roofs and walls suffered in the recent cyclone. After having been lashed by gales for two days, and weathered the cyclone off Darwin, two luggers entered the harbour yesterday, in a damaged condition. These two vessels were separated from the main pearling fleet, and the Japanese members of Arnhein Land, to determine the e.xluggers, which were further east, must have received a more severe battering, if they were not well sheltered. A Government patrol boat has left for the Bathurst Island pearling grounds, off the Corcodile Group, east ofArnhein Land, to determine the extent of the damage caused by the cyclone, to the mission stations and pearling fleet.
