Tor.
Stricken relatives are searching,
m sdd-ned by grief and hunger AID
thirst, among the ruins and fearful
desolstion for their lost ones. The
suffering is increasing hourly, and no
pen car tell what the survivors are
forced to undergo.
The tales of narrow escape told by
survivors are awful. Instances are re-
lated where fathers and mothers were
compelled to see their children snatch
ed away by the water and floating rub
bish and drowned before their eyes,
while they themselves escaped only by
q miracle.
The attempt OF the correspondents
on the ground to tell something of the
human suffering is hopelessly iusde-
quate. Homeless. not even . city to
60 to that they know rs home, the dead
around them in piles, nothing but
desolstion and fostering debris and
hopeless waters on every side, NO food,
no water. no communication with
friends, there is no living being that
can imagine the anguish these uufor-
tunste people are suffering. and It is
merciful to draw the pail over the
sickening details of the final scene in
the life OF those now dead, while work
is carried on to save and comfort the
living.
