Half Naked and Almost Insane From
Horror That Confronted Them.
Catania, Dec. 30.-Refugees are
pouring into Catania by trains, steam

naked and stupefied with terror and
suffering. Some Of them appear al
most insane from the horrors through
which they have gone.
In the beginning they could only
babble: "Messina has been devastat-
ed; the city has been annihilated."
Little by little some idea Of the in
describable horror at Messina was OBJ
tanned from these unfortunates.
They declare that thousands of de-
mented survivors are still wandering
about among the ruins Of the city.
