anrog in the Sea Of Azo of the Gath January states
that three days before terrible calamity befel that
town. The weather being beautifully fine many OF
the inhabitants of all classes were on the ice to some
distance from land. All at once violent tempest
came on. and the sea breaking up the ice rolled in
the land with extraordinary violence. 1t even broke
over the cliffs near the town, and filed an extensive
valley with water, transforming it literally into Q
marsh. The women, who had been left at home, as
sembled on the nights and the tops of houses Offering
up prayers to Providence to spare the lives Of persons
on the ice or out at sea. Soon after dead bodies,
frightfuly mutiated, began to roll in and persona
were seen on large fragments Of the broken ice, rum
ming to and fro in terror apparently celebrating
as to what could be done. It is impossible to tell how
many people pershed, but the number considera-
ble In addition many fishermen were out at sea, and
it is feared that they have persisted.
