5. I cannot tell how many exactly were killed, but not more than 

 10 or 12. Every one had had full warning before, as a heavy dust- 

 storm had been going on nearly an hour before the hurricane commenc- 

 ed. At least 2 men were killed by hail, 2 by the falling of a house, 1 

 by the falling of a cart loaded with hhusa, and the rest by trees. The 

 hail wounded a very largo number. 



6. It is impossible to estimate the total damage done in the district 

 by the storm. 



Quite 2,000 trees must have been uprooted and very many others 

 sadly knocked about. The melon crops were injured. The damage 

 done to Government buildings in the two tahsils roughly estimated at 

 Rs. 360. 



Unfortunately I have not been able to hear of any baormetric &o. 

 observations made during the storm. 



When the north wind began to blow there was a considerable fall 

 of temperature.
