SEEING AN EARTHQUAKE

The severest earthquake ever exper-
fenced in Long Beach, occurred Sunday
afternoon, April 81, 1918. Very lit
tie damage was done, though some Of
the largest buildings rocked like trees
in a heavy gale. However, there was
quite a scare, especially in the large
auditorium on the beach. A large
crowd had gathered there as usual.
The Municipal band gives a concert
which is free, every Sunday afternoon,
playing sacred and patriotic music.
When the quake came people supposed
the foundation had given way and the
auditorium was pitching into the
ocean. The musicians ceased playing
and everybody made a rush for the
doors. Two women tainted in the hall
and another after getting outside.
Our rooming house rocked consider
able and we quickly got out on the
front porch. We noticed in passing
through the hall that the chandeliers
we're swinging like pendulums. The
following appeared in the morning pa

tangles of wreckage. RACED by the most
severe earthquake ever felt in South
