HOUSES WRECKED
LANDSLIDES ’IN SOUNDS
REGION FOLLOWING ON CLOUDBURST. THOUSANDS OF TONS OF ROCKS BROUGHT DOWN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. NELSON, This Day. In Puketea Bay, the next to Admiralty Bay, where a homestead was destroyed by a landslide is reported in an earlier message, three houses occupied by E. Guard and his two sons were also in the line of the storm and all three houses were wrecked. Many telephone lines are out of commission. It is not known how many scattered settlers fared. Not in the memory of the oldest residents has anything approaching this occurrence been seen. In some instances thousands of tons of boulders and rocks now cover what were formerly the house properties of settlers.
