Late in January we wore viaitod by a very heavy gale, which severely damaged tho landing place at Cascade Bay, washing away the stone causeway that connects the landing rock with the shore. The whaling companies sustained some damage. Some of tho boilingout houses were washed cway, and some of the tanks belonging to No. 4 •company, while No. 1 lost a boat. Several pines were blown down. The epidemic of whooping cough has virtually ceased. Ib caused three deaths among the Islanders and three also of the Helanesian children died from it.
