mouth of the Loethchenthal tunnel
works, killing thirteen persons and
injuring fifteen others.
The occupants of the hotel, num-
bering thirty, were surprised while
seated at the table by sinister rum
blings. Almost Immediately two chill
dren rushed into the dining room and
screamed "An avalanche, an ava
lanche." There was a rush to escape,
but the building, which was of a tenn
porary nature, collapsed without warn
ing.
Both of the children were killed
along with many of those they had
sought to save. Among the others
killed was an American engineer,
named Mervert, who was installing
American machinery to be used for
tunnelling.
The hotel had been erected by the
tunnel contractors for the convenience
of the engineers and others engaged
in construction work. There were no
tourists there.
The village postoffice and police
station also were seriously damaged
by the air wave and were keeled over
to an angle of forty-five degrees, max
Ing their occupancy impossible. The
