at Haukow. was brought to Seattle by
the steamer Titan. A bore twenty-six
feet in height passed without warm

thousands of iunks, sampans and small
boats, wrecking large river steamers.
Some 1000 Chinese were sleeping in
sampans and small craft and mat sheds

and they were enveloped by the great
wave. which swept away broken junks,
splintered sampans and a heterogeneous
mass of debris. with swarms OF
drowned Chinese mixed with the wreck

the disaster were horrible, the river
side being strewn with dead and de-
