Resumo

Letterpress continues: 'The house shewn in this view is Messrs W. Pustau & Co.'s. It was in a peculiarly exposed position and its western wall about 2 or 3 feet in thickness was almost entirely demolished. The roof was completely stripped, and the boundary walls were levelled to the ground, as were also the silk godowns at the rear of the premises, leaving nothing but a mass of debris to mark the spot where they once stood. This view gives an excellent idea of the force of the wind as instanced by trees which lie uprooted in all directions.'. Photographer: Unknown.
