bowling of the wind, the gushing of
the waves, the screams of dying, the
horrors of the dead filed me with a
terror that no human mortal can

and my escape from death was mir
aculous, ] cannot say bow ] surviv-

courage. No one can surmise for a
second the horrors of those three
days. Thousands of dead bodies
will never be accounted for; am
under the firm belief that the dead
amounts to the very least 5000. My
tongue was so swollen and parched
