SWEPT BY CYCLONE
SMALL TOWN ISOLATED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE MANY HOUSES DESTROYED By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received March 30. 5.5 p.m.) PERTH, March 30 A cyclone swept Onslow, a small town on the north-west coast, and many houses were destroyed. A concrete jetty, 2500 ft. long, at Beadon was wrecked. Nearly 7-iin. of rain fell in 10 hours. The telegraph service is dislocated and the district is isolated. Severe floods in the Wiluna district have disorganised the railway service. Pastoralists are overjoyed at the rain, which was badly needed.
