In Kingston. the island capital. 0'. least 10 persons died includ- ing several inmates of the city poor house and mental hospital.

A manhunt got underway today for 70 convicts who escaped when the.hurri':ane flattened the wall of the island's general peniten- tiary at the old city of Port Royal which was almost com- pietely wiped out.

The crops in rural areas were devastated. but the complete ox- ient of the damage can not be measured yet because the storm knocked out communications with much of the island.

Ships Lost

The Domnicanliepublic ship "Ln

KINGSTON, Jamaica. Aug. iii - (AP) - Under a tropical sun in a cloudiess sky, Jamaicans today surveyed the desolation and dam- age on their island from the hur- lzcane that ripped across its south shore Friday and Saturday morn- mg.

Kingston'ltself presents such a battered picture that it is surpris- ing to learn the hurricane death toll is only about 60. The toll may rise when inland communities whose communications have been cut are able to report to the cap- ital.

Estimates of the damage range from -310,000,000 to 820,000,000.

(Reuters News Agency said dam- age estimated ranged up to :56.- 000.000). v

Governor Sir Hugh Foot attrib- utes the low death rate to scour- ate warnings of the hurricane's progress and path and to efficient evacuation work by the Red Cross and other volunteer unii.s.

In all of Kingston. 9. city of 200,- 000, there is scarcely one whole roof left. on any building. In some places, whole rows of buildings were razed.
