New road destroyed.
27. —The new road between Goojah and Tafcta is destroyed,—-no
Vestige of it remains.
28. —Between Gharra and Wuttajee-ka-landee, the Post road is
through the hills. All the nullahs are full, but no obstruction of conse-.
quence was ever experienced here.
Travellers' house fallen down.
29. —At Wuttajee-ka-landee the poor travellers’ house lately erect
ed, has fallen down.
30. —From Wuttajee^ka-landee into Kurrachee, the whole road was
one continued flood. All traffic suspended ; and it was only at a great
deal of labor and difficulty the mail was passed along. The four large
water courses between Peeprie-ka-landee and Mulleer, remained full
during the continuance of the rain—a thing unprecedented.
Mulleer.—Huts destroyed.
31. —At the Mulleer river a vast deal of damage has been done ; the
banks were completely overflowed, and the flood rushed into the coun
try sweeping every thing before it. All the huts belonging to the
shepherds or camel-men near the river were ungulphed—Life has been
lost to some extent, and the destruction of cattle great.
