Invebgabgill, January 15.
A water spout at Parrawa, near Kingston, bored a great hole in the face of a mountain, carrying trees, rocks, and clay in its train. W hen it reached the flat country it spread out an I covered a portion of Mr Gibson's farm
with debris- It also covered the railway line and filled the creeks leading into the Mataura River. A rabbiter was caught in the tail of the storm and covered with red clay. The sun was shining brightly a few minutes before.
