Tidal Wave submeraes Island.

I~niskeerach, a small island lying off
Arranmore, on the Donegal coast, and
having a population of about 80 per-
sons, has been almost entirely sub
merged by a tidal wave.
Reused by the road of the waters,
the residents were able to escape with
their lives, but suffered severe loss of
property, chiefly in regard to their
stocks Of seaweed stacked ready for
kelp-making. The tidal wave reached
&rranmore also, but the conformation
of the land there protected the neigh
borhood from the ravages of the wa
tiers.

Out of the army of a million men
