The most graphic account of the
earthquake is that OF a lineman who
happened to be on duty on the railroad
when the catastrophe occurred

when | heard loud report like that Of
huge explosion. | was rather alarmed,
but walked down the road to discover
its cause. | was thrown down on the
ground. ! fell heavily and was so hurt
that / certainly would have tainted from
pain had not my hand touched the cold
metal OF tho rails. The cold sensation
kept me conscious. / heard the earth
crack. | saw the railway station shal<-
ing and then collapsing like a pack OF
cards, and tho stones OF the rock bed
on which had fallen were jumping and
dancing as II each were alive. The tele-
graph lines along the road stretched
and relaxed as II worked mechanically
II seemed as II the end OF the world
had arrived. Yet | did not realize that
II was an earthquake until ! looked
toward Avezzano and saw the town
shrouded in n white cloud. There was
a sudden hush, everything stood notion

the white cloud slowly lifted and | saw
that the town had disappeared"
one can complete the description OF
the lineman by plcturng n fiourlshing
town with It's churches, its artistic build

castle with massive walls. Fertile val
leys, with well titled fields and verdant
freshness everywhere, stretch between
the town and the surrounding hills,
studded with villages. Mount Velino,

snow, forms setting to the landscape,

tivity everywhere. The inhabitants OF
the town are just starting on their daily
work. The church bells are ringing for
mass. old women carrying small
