day and the country people are afraid
to bring more produce into the town.

ing leveled by dynamite as they are
little more than tottering walls that
fall as the new shocks come.

water in the harbor receded thirty
three feet and then rushed back, COW
ering the docks and piers. causing con-
siderable damage. The people are
suffering from exposure. The tents
