Admiral Belknap says, i'll part: 'sAs COM
munication is obtained with places before
unheard of, it becomes certain that the
misery and devastation was vastly worse
than had been supposed. In one mountain
village, for example. every individual was
either killed or crippled, ana NOT one was
able to go for aid to the neighboring towns.
The total number of persons left homeless
wsl reach half a million. Fields. roads.
dykes. potteres. tools. and shops were de-
stroycd and every means of livlihood taken
away. The coming winter will greatly ag-
gravate the distress of their condition."
