The coast was streWn with

Damage in the Tokyo area was
severe, and the storm left people
fearful that another might bring
a tidal wave in its wake.
The storm, worst in 80 years,
came on the anniversary of the
1923 earthquake in which nearly
100000 persons were killed.
1t struck the Tokyo area at Yo-
kohama. Great waves smashed over
wharves. Train service was halted,
rivers rose, live wires lay in the
streets with debris torn from houses.
Despairing whistle blasts could be
heard from ships in harbor, ealing
for help which none could give.
Many late revelers were maroon

the Japan Advertiser, English Ian
