river ran deep and swift up to the steep
bank. Here the two Combatants drew
their swords. In such combats, as we'll

The young squire was deadly white

a smear of blood on his white shoulder,
and another on his brow, there was still
in his whole pose and set face the stamp

The last shocks, which occurred
Wednesday, finished the work of de-
struction. Panic seized upon the 1000
inhabitants of the island, who ADAM
doned their homes after the first vista
ton OF the earthquakes and camped
in the fields and public squares. Many
took refuge in boats in the harbor.
The island is used as a penal settle

600 are quartered there. These were

escape, attacking their guards, but
were subdued
One of the three mountains on the
