Resumo
Port beam view. 'Those who have never witnessed a typhoon are very surprised on reading of large vessels being carried far inland. One of the effects of a such a convulsion is to cause the waters to rise, - in some parts during the late typhoon they rose fifteen or twenty feet, - so that the boundaries of the sea are for the time greatly extended, and fields and villages covered by water. The Portuguese brig 'Concordia' is here shown to have been carried into a rice field. Photographer: Lai Afong.
