"A funny thing happened when

Thirteen Are Dead
Two recurrent shocks at 4:42 a. M.

among frightened Santa Barbarans.
The last jolt toppled showers Of
bricks and cornices to the streets,
endangering lives of police and
wreckers working in the quake zone.
The dead list stood at thirteen.
The seriously injured totaled twenty

Recurrent TembIcrs
Last "a Hours

BV United Press
At day break, Santa Barbara had
been a full twenty-four hours IN
the grip of recurrent tremors. The
first of the series of severe quakes
started at GAP a. m, Monday.
Throughout the day, faint
temblors kept the populace in
state of apprehension. Every i'm
portant building in the downtown
section of the city suffered from the
effects of the quake.
The city was under martial law,
as soldiers, sailors and uniformed
police took charge at important
points to prevent looting and assist
in rescue work.
More Leave
At 5:S2 the severe shocks began
again. Just when the people of
Santa Barbara had begun to tell
one another tits all over" the
trembling recommended.
Those who had deplored a general
exodus from the city, joined the
long line of cars which pointed their
headlights away from the ruined
town as darkness fell.
At 9:24 p. m, particularly heavy
shock was felt.
Thereafter. save for faint tremb-
lings, there was quiet. until 1:20 a.
M, when what perhaps was the
greatest shock of all shattered the
ruins and started the terror anew.
This was accentuated by another
lighter shock at 4:42 a. m, and
5:55 a. m

household goods crowded in the

fearful each minute Of seeing fresh

Horace said SO little. He had
always been gently patient, but the

She heard his voice out there in a
kindly good morning.
He didn't return directly to the
dining room, but first slipped across
the hall to his own bedroom. She
could not help seeing the long en-
velope in his hand, but did not see
him hide it in the satchel In his closet.
She was already gathering up their
few breakfast dishes. He had re-
marked of late, quite cheerfully, that
the light diet helped his asthma.
Then he came quietly in from his
room and gave her a letter with the
familiar Iowa postmark. She felt with
a pang how thin he was, and how he
had let himself run down. His head
had whitened since their arrival IN
California. He had not been to the
barber shop for nearly two months,
and the abundant hair curled against
his coat collar. His beard, too, which
he had kept neatly trimmed even
during the difficult years since he had
had to surrender his pastorate, was
whitley shaggy now. He looked like
a somewhat unkempt Mr.. Longfellow.
