HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE
REGION IN ITALY DEVASTATED BY
EARTHQUAKES AND TIDAL WAVES
Messina, e Ruined City, 2700 Years Old and Has Had
Many Masters and Catasrophes

Studied with maps and accounts OF
the more recent of the great earth
quake disasters of Italy, 1t is seen
that in the latest catastrophe the dis
turbance reached the surface on the
northern border. close to Swiss terri
tory. Bomodossolo is among the
Alps, and the mountain range seems
to have been the route of the earth
quake. 1t passed to the southwark.
following the Apennines. There is a
twenty minutes difference between
the time of the shocks reported in
upper and lower Italy.
In Calabria, which has been laid
waste again and again by such dis
turbances, this earthquake first
touched the surface with its full
effect. Lofty signal posts of disaster
marked its way, for it struck with
full force at the extinct volcano Of
San Giovanni, spread its devastation
across the Strait of Messina to Sicily
and rolled up another score of death
and ruin all about the slopes of
Mount Etna, reducing to ruins the
ancient and famous city of Messina
and tumbling the buildings of Catania,
fifty-nine miles farther south, only
to again overwhelm the busy port
soon afterward with q great tidal
wave.
The spread of the earthquake In
Sicily and Southern Italy, according
to the cable dispatches, was through
very much the same area as that of
the earthquake of 1878, which was
the most destructive in the history
OF Italy. Then, as now, the earth
quake caused enormous damage on
both sides of the Strait OF Messina,
which separates the toe of the So
called boot" of Italy from Sicily.
The historic disaster completely
wrecked the populous seaport of Mes
sina in Sicily near the northern end
of the strait and destroyed many
smaller cities and towns in Southern
Italy and Sicily.
The loss of life in this disaster of
1888 was estimated at 10000, Mes
sina, city which is for the most part
but little above the level of the sea,
suffering terribly-then. as now, from
a tidal wave. The region to the
south of Messina has also been often
overwhelmed by eruptions from
Mount Etna. The southeastern and
eastern portion of the island has been
damaged time and again by eruptions
of Etna and very little by earth
quakes, while the northeastern por-
tion has sustained heavy loss of life
and property from earthquakes and
very little from volcanic eruption.
Messina, which as in 1888 suffered
the greatest loss of life and property
from this earthquake, is a city and
seaport Of upwards of $4,000 inhab-.

and derived its first known name
Zanole Ia sickle), from the shane of
the harbor. 1t was founded by Gu
maen pirates and Chalcidians in 1872
b. G., and was governed by the laws
Of Charondas.
In 396 B. c. the town was de-
stroyed by the Carthaginians, but was
rebuilt few years later by Dionysius
OF Syracuse, only to fall again into
the hands of the Carthaginians under
Hannibal in 269. The first Punic
war, however. left the place in the
hands OF the Romans, and the place
was or importance second only to that
OF Syracuse and Lilybaeum in Sicily
during period of Roman occupation
lasting for several centuries.
In S31 A. d. the town was taken
by the Saracens, but in 1861 It was
taken from them by the Normans.
The city prospered greatly during the
Crusades, being favorite rendezvous
for soldiers from the continent en-
route to the Holy Land. In the Mid
die Ages also 1t became a fiourishing
commercial city.
Its commercial Importance disap-
peared after bitter struggle between
the aristocratic faction, or Merli. and
the democratic faction, or Mavizzi. in
1874. The democratic faction ap-
pealed to the French and the other to
the Spaniards. The former faction
were at first victorious, but eventual
ly were deserted by the French, the
city was taken by the Spaniards, and
when the struggle was over the popu-
lation was reduced from 10000 to
about tenth of that number.
The town never fully recovered
from this disaster. Whatever recov-
cry was made was neutralized in the
eighteenth century by a series of dis
asters. In 1740 about 1000 persons
died of the plague, and In 1888 the
town was almost entirely overthrown
by the great earthquake OF that year.
Great damage was caused by bonn
bardment in September, 1S4S. The
cholera carried off no fewer than 49,
900 victims in 1854 and earthquakes
in 1894 and 1906 also caused loss of
life and property. In 1880 the town.
was occupied by Garibaldi. II bed
