VILLAGE CARRIED AWAY
BY HIGH TIDAL WAVE
Wave Preceded by Torrentlai Down
pour Of Rain, Which Warned
People, and Loss Of Life
Was Small.

Naples.-A severe storm has caused
serious damage on the Calabrian
coast. At Marina, small village,
tidal wave swept in and practically
carried the village away. The loss OF
life was slight. The wave was preced-
ed by a torrential downpour OF rain
and a fierce wind. This warned the
people OF their peril. and they moved
back from the shore in time to escape
the wave.
Several hundred feet OF the shore
line was inundated. Several houses
collapsed entirely. and the rush OF wa
ter carried off everything portable.
Many of the buildings were under
mined. The people are still in a con-
dition of terror and panic. One wom-
an lie reported dead and four persons
are unaccounted for. The school
house has been transformed into a
hospital and shelters score OF
wounded persons. The people have
sought refuge In the surrounding hills.
Reports from laramie say there Is
great apprehension concerning the
fate of eight fishing boats that have
not been seen since the storm.
