(Received 12 noon)
BRISBANE. December 22
A terrific cyclone struck the town of Alfracombe, unroofing practically every house. Telegraph posts were snapped off like stalks, and one shop and two houses Wore lilted bodily into the air and blown away. Dashing from olio house, a woman with a child in her arms was forced to cling to a fence to prevent herself from being carried- away by the wind Two chopping blocks aye the only indication- where butchers’ shop stood before the gale. A thousand gallon tank was whirled through the air and crashed through a. kitchen wall a quarter of a mde away. Another tank, of similar size, was discovered two miles away.
