completely abandoned. They are half
buried in ashes and many roofs have
fallen. Somma Vesuviana is another
village that has suffered severely.
The scenes at Ottajano when the first
victims were unearthed were terrible.
The positions of the bodies showed
that the victims had died while in a
state of great terror, the faces being
cOnvulsed with fear. Three bodies
were found in a confessional of one
of the fallen churches. One body was
that of an old woman, who was sit
ting with her right arm raised as
though to ward off the advancing dan
ger. The second was that of child,
about eight years old. 1t was found
dead in position which would indi-
cate that it had fallen with a little
dog close to it, and had died with one
arm raised across its face, to pro.
tect itself and its pet from the
crumbling ruins. The third body.
that of woman, was reduced to an
unacceptable mass. These three vic
Tins were reyerently laid side by side
while a procession of friends and rela-
tives offered up prayers beside them.
A Heroic Rescue.
Many tales are told of heroic res
cues on the part of the soldiers sent
to the assistance of the sufferers from
the volcanic disaster at Ottajano and
elsewhere. One man rode his horse
through the ashes, reaching up to it's
TANKS, at Ottajano calling out: who
wants help? Who wants help?" He
was rewarded by hearing a woman's
voice reply in weak tones and, spring
ing from his horse, the soldier called
a comrade to his assistance and
fioundered among the ashes until he
arrived at the ruined walls of a
house, from which the voice seemed
to come. AS he made his way towards
the building the soldier shouted words
OF encouragement and, climbing over
heap of ruins and Drawing a top
ping wall, he entered the building
and in the cellar found the bodies
OF three children. Near them was
woman, barely alive, who by almost
superhuman efforts, lasting for hours,
had succeeded in freeing herself from
mass of debris which had fallen
upon her. The soldier picked the
woman up in his arms and carried
her to place Of safety, where it was
found that both her legs were broken
and that she had been badly crushed
about the body. 1t is believed she
will live, although she endured fur
Their suffering for some time after her
rescue owing to the difficulty expert
