= Typhoon- stricken Swatow man
gled and miserable caricature of the
port of a week ago, says a Hong Kong
dispatch, doggedly goes about the first
ghastly task that falls to the survivors
of the storm-burial of the dead.
Bodies of $4,000 have been recovered,
death toll that triples former estimates
and cuts in half the former popula-
ton of the nationality. The figures
were given in a circular issued by the
Swatow chamber Of commerce from its
branch in Hong Kong. Rude coff1ns
have been hammered together with
lumber salvaged from the wreck Of the
city. But these cannot be made fasi
enough TO dispose or DodleS winch are
a sanitary menace. Gunnysacks and
mattress bags have been made into
crude shrouds. Graves are hurriedly
dug in the alluvial fats on which the
port was built, that bodies may be in
tered as they are recovered from the
wreckage. Shortage Of food may prove
another menace. British in Hong
Kong have sent $4,000 for relief to the
British consul at Swatow. Rice is
being shipped from the British colony.
The Swatow municipality charitable
association has organized a relief fund,
to which subscriptions are being
sought Benevolent societies in Hong
Kong are uniting in relief measures
for the sufferers. Bandits, making
grim capital of the city's disaster, are
reported to have raided homes and
robbed pedestrians in the native sec
ton. Ghouls sought to loot the dead,
but were promptly stopped by native
police. The tidal waves which swept
the road along the harbor while the
storm was at its height completed the
devastation which the storm started.
Waterfront buildings, crumpled before
the assault of the water. lie in tangled
nondescript piles. Three steamers
caught in the storm were piled on the
beach. Smaller craft, demolished'when
they sought shelter in Swatow harbor,
add TO the tangle on the waterfront
