LAST AMERICANS WHO
VISITED STRICKEN CITY

OAKLAND. Jan. 9.-Dr. II. F. Wor-
ley and wife of this city were among
the last Americans to visit Messina,
Sicily, before its destruction by earth
quake. December and z the Worleys
made trips ashore while returning
from Egypt to Naples on the steamer
Barbarossa.
The piercing wind and rainfall which
caused untold suffering among refu-
gees after the catastrophe were eX-
perienced during their stay and rem
dered impossible extended trips ashore
or a view of the country behind the
town.
DR. Worley, who returned to his
practice yesterday said that the pic
turesque nature OF the city and its
superb location were apparent, even
under the disadvantages described. The
city lay close to the shore of a charm
ing bay, and life along the quays was
a memorable feature.
About rs Americans were then re-
ported at the various resorts at Mes
sina. but the Worleys met none of them.
