STORIES OF SURVIVORS,

Naples, Dec. 30-Time only confirms
powering catastrophe History will
perhaps never divulge it's supremest
individual tragedies for earth ana sea
u>,-i,es.. Chained thousands OF hu-
man beings and the flames merciless-
~ completed the unfinished devasta-
ton.
Naples, vibrant with the memory of
Ves'Fius, is FRUSTRATED anew at the
misery and woe from Messina, conf1d-
eu nc. care. The hospitals. hotels
and homes arc crowded with refugees,
ard '-,c he"ole arc viena with one
another in aiding the stricken.
Inose who have expert knowledge
OIL the subject agree that the center
OF the cataclysm was the strait of
Nessina, which also Is the center OF
tn" volcanic zone whose highest peak,
Aetna, is now silent. From this base
the t.lluric disturbance extended,
atating by little, northerly as far as
Cape Faticano and so,ttherly as far
as the Bay Of Catania, ravining the
western region OF Caiabria and the
eastern coast Of Sicily for distance
of nearly 100 miles
1t is impossible accurately to ascer-
tain the extent of the movement east
and west in the inland regions, but
1t is certain that the beauty of one
o. the most charming sections Of South
ern Italy has been irrevocably despoil-
ed. Vineyards are no more waving,
rows of lemon, orange and olive
trees have been torn up and the en-
circlins coast-lne with it's soft and
fragrant foliage has been converted
into a hideous desert. Reggie. whose
gay aspect set off the severity OF the
mountains. and Palmi, perched jaunt-
lily amid orange and olive trees, have
be come mere blots on the horizon.
The commander of the Therapie gives
a thrilling description of the rescues
effected by his men, when his ship ar
rived at Mcssina from Malta under In
str!lctons to convey the survivors to
Naples. Twenty different confagrations
were raging. AS the vessel drew up be-
fore the city it was surrounded by q
fleet of boats. On entering the port q
tremendous clamor greeted their ears.
1t was the survivors screaming for
help. From The water front Messina ap-

the fine building along that line OF
streets still were standing, but behind
was emptiness and ruin. The principal
square presented an awe-inspiring as
pect. Everywhere were enormous
cracks. into which the sea poured.
where clouds Of steam and sulphur va
pors arose.
TO the right before big crumbling
building were heeped many corpses
whose desperate attitudes showed the
horrors of the death struggle. The crew
landed but the work of rescue was
most difficult.
The ruins formed hillocks 30 feet
high. under which thousands were
buried. The steamer, as soon as loaded
down to its utmost capacity with sur
vivors steamed TO Naples.
All along the way it was seen that
the smiling villages on the Calabrian
coast had disappeared. Both Scylia

them. %fs

SHOPPERS OUT
IN BIC NUMBERS
PLEASANT WEATHER IS CAUSING
LOCAL PEOPLE TO DO THEIR
BUYING EARLY.

Brunswick is rapidly taking on the
real holiday appearance; the stores
are now all keeping open evenings for
the benefit OF the shoppers; nearly ali
of them finished their holiday decora-
lions and it must be said that the line
carried by them this season is the
largest and most varied ever offered
to the shoppers of this city. In all
OF the stores there is everything that
can be found in the larger cities. Th&
brunswick merchants should enjoy G
good holiday business. as they have
prepared for it and it win not be nee
essary for local people to send away
for anything.
Local shoppers are taking advan-
tage of the delightful weather which
is prevailing at present and they are
doing their shopping early Yester-
day an unusually large number OF
people were on the streets and all o.
the stores We're well crowded There
are always many people who do their
shopping early and thus they get the
first pick by selecting their presents
before they have been picked over BY
everybody.
The real rush, however. will not be-
gin before next week. Then the peo-
pie will be out in numbers and the
merchants will all be kept busy until
Thursday night of next week, which
will be Christmas eve.
Merchants are anticipating an UNI
| usually heavy holiday trade. and one
feature indicated by the early shop
pers that there is more cash husi-
| ness this year than ever before, which
is good indication that there is
plenty of money in circulation.

rations for continuing the laying of
track on the virgfnian Railway have
been resumed this week. and as soon
as the line from Victoria west. that
consists of almost four miles laid dur
ing the fall, has been gotten in shape
tho track will be continued on to
Erookneal, in Campbell county, where
1t will be continued with the line laid
from that point west.
A good force of labor is employed on
the road west of Victoria at present,
cleaning off the recent caves that in
some instances have almost covered the
track, and are spiking and getting
this portion of the line in good shape
SO that the material can be hauled over
1t in order to continue the building OF
the track. 1t is estimated that this
work of preparing the way will be
completed in few days. and that the
work of laying the track will be taken
up Immediately.
Material and Men Ready. II
A vast amount OF material has been
hauled up and stored at Victoria ready
for use. In conversation with the
division engineer here few days ago
the fact was elected that the viaducts
