Hongkong.-Typhoon-stricken Swa-

cature OF the port of a week ago, dog
gedly goes about the first CHASTITY
task that falls to the survivors Of the
storm-burial of the dead.
Bodies of 2S, 900 have been recovered,
a death toll that triples former esti-
mates and cuts in half the former pop
ulation Of the native city. These fig
ures were given in a circular issued by
the Swallow chamber of commerce
from its branch in Hongkong.
Rude collins have been hammered
together with lumber salvaged from
the wreck OF the city. But these can.
not be knocked together fast enough to
dispose of bodies which are sanitary
menace to the health OF the living.
Gunnysacks and mattress bags have
been made into crude shrouds. Graves
are hurriedly dug in the alluvial flats
on which the port was built, that
bodies may be inferred as they are re-
covered from the wreckage.
Shortage OF food may prove another
menace. British In Hongkong already
have sent $4,000 for relief to the Brit
ish consul at Swallow. Rice is being
shipped from the British colony to the
typhoon survivors. The Swallow Mu-
nicipality Charitable association has
organized a relief fund to which sub
scriptions are being sought. Benevo-
lent societies in Hongkong are unit
ing in relief measures for the suffer
ers. Other cities in China are expect.
ed TO heed the plea Of stricken Swa-
tow.
Bandits making grim capital OF the
city's disaster are reported to have
raided homes and robbed pedestrians
in the native section. Ghouls sought
to loot the dead but we're promptly
stopped by native police.
Swallow is a heap OF ruins. The
tital wave which swept the road along
the harbor while the storm was at
Its height completed the devastation
which the storm stared. Water front
buildings, crumpled before the assault
OF the water. lie in tangled nondes-
cript piles. Three steamers caught in
the storm were piled on the benach.
Smaller craft, demolished when they
sought shelter in Swallow harbor, add
ed to the tangIe on the water front
that swirls with the tide.
