from the audience, which was thrown
into a heap and a large number buried
beneath the timbers of the building,
which fell on them. Two more shocks
occurred. All who could rushed
outside the theatre and hundreds
clambered into the trees in the vicin-
ity for safety. Some of the people,
however, escaped to the shore, where
bonfres were lighted as signals of dis
tress. Hundreds of half naked men
and women, wild with terror and grief,
ran to and fro among the ruins. with
torches during the night, searching
for missing friends. Among the miss
ing since the earthquake occurred is
Mr.. Sommer, an English or Ameri-
can gentleman. He resided at the
Hotel Mansee.
