Violent Shock To Ocean 4
Causes Tremendous Tidal
Waves

SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. I3
(By Associated Press. )-Relief
forces to aid the thousands maei.
homeless by earthquakes through.
out Chile Saturday, and the flood
ing waves which followed, wese
being organized today.
The death toll will probably b,
at least 600, it is estimated. and
property damage is expected u
run into millions. Several towns
were nearly or completely d4
stroyed.
In addition to heavy casualties OF
dead and injured at Copiapo and Co
quimbo, it was reported yesterday
that 500 were killed at Vallenar and
the surrounding district. Vallenai
was virtually destroyed, and the SUR
vivors are in a critical condition. Ii
seems certain that there have beel
casualties in other towns and villages
around Copiapo, to the south, con-
cerning which no news is yet avail
able.
Already twenty-four bodies have
been recovered at Coquimbo, wh,re
it is known there are 100 or mo-
dead. At Chanaras a number weta
killed by falling houses.
Violent Shock in Ocean Bed.
1t was earthquake and tidal wave
combined that accounted for the vast
destruction in the provinces OF Ant5,
fagasta. Atacama and Coquimbo.
The movement Of the ocean is de-
scribed as phenomenal. 1t gave evi-
dence of terrible disturbance iii
the bed Of the Pacific itself. There
must have been such a tearing at
the bottom Of the sea that immense
quantities of water were sucked
though, causing a tremendous recess
sion of the waters along the Chilean
coast.
Several times the ocean swept out
ward and came back in the shape OF
great wave, flooding the seaports
and in some instances sweeping away
the waterfront.
The violent effects of the tidal
waves were felt from Antofagasta Oh
the north to Valdivia on the south.
covering about sixteen degrees of
latitude, or more than 200 miles.
All types Of craft lying in the
various harbors were swept on shore,
wrecked, or left high and dry, and
at scores Of small ports wharves and
quays were destroyed. Chilean naval
vessels at Tacahuano, about 800
miles south of Valparaiso, when they
felt the force of the waters, slipped
their cables ana proceeded out IS
the open sea.
