Mrs Heber ]. Grant, writing ITO the
loved ones at home" from Tokyo, ia
pan, under date Of oct 2, regarding the
terrible typhoon that swept Yokohama
on the 9th and 2Sth of September,
says;
II viii tell you how the storm served
us, this first great typhoon in our ex-
perlenoe. The wind had been blowing
quite hard all night. but we thought
nothing Of Il. But about daylight we
were awakened by a harder gust than
usual My room was on the shelt red
side OF the house and though my bed
rocked felt no alarm, but lay looking
out Of the window at the trees rocked
and twisted by the fierce wind, and
thought what grand sight 1t was. III
Of a sudden we heard a terrific crash,
and everybody IN the house bounded
out of bed We found the whole front
OF the house, nearly. blown Open There
are double doors, and these with casing
and everything had been torn of, and
that was what we heard crash In. We
dressed as quickly as we could, fearing
every minute that the roof would go
next, and then the ladies went down
stairs and the men were on duty FOR
several hours. There was broken
glass all over the floor. and poles, boards
and so forth braced up against the
windows; and then the men stood hold
ing the doors besides to keep them
from blowing IN.
The wind was very strong. and the
rain came down in sheets. The men
were wet to the skin, just the same as
II they had been right out doors, and
although they kept one wiping up the
water from the carpet as fast as p0ssI-
Bile. II soaked through and wet every
thing. The parade groun IN front OF
our house looked like the waving sea.
Trees were tumbling over I'm every d.
rectlon and three large ones IN front
OF our house were In danger Of falling
onto the house. The landlord brought
six men to work about the place, they
climbed the trees half naked as they
were. and with the rain beating down
on them in the swaying branches they
tied with ropes and propped up with
poles these three trees so that they did
not fall on the house. With these men
outside working for dear life. as 1t
seemed. and our men inside weaihering
the gale as best they could, II remind
ed me Of nothing so much as a ship
at sea In a storm and in danger of
