Destructive waves such as struck
Hawaii and Northern Pacific points
Monday are commonly called tidal
waves. Actually they are properly
seismic sea waves, since they have
their origin not in the tides but in
underwater disturbance of the
ocean ffoors
Such waves are not uncommon in
the Pacific. since it is largely
ringed. Rltha seismic belt .-.
The waves are OF two types. one
being caused by subsistence of the
sea bottom, the other by an up
heaval. In the case of the former
the waters recede. then rush back
on shore violently. with the latter
there usually is no warning ebb.
Extremely destructive waves have
been experienced in Japan. Chile
and elsewhere around the Pacific

of the U. S. S. Wateree. which was
driven ashore in Chile in August

danger although they may note the

eens as it coiled and whiplashed two
blocks deep into the city in a wave
of destruction.
William Hama. who rescued his
mother and two other women from
the Hama Hotel. described the fury:
We heard the water crash into
buildings. Screams of people, the
crunching of wood and the shatter-
ing of glass filled the air.
Our hotel was shaking so fiercely
we couldn't move There were about
rs women and children inside. Then
the waters receded and men started
helping the women and children out.
Every one in the hotel was saved,
but we found two children under
neath-dead."
Today, fearful, grim-faced families
wandered about this once beautiful
city of $4,000, searching for their
missing.
Kamehameha, a street of ware
houses, cheap frame hotels and little
shops, was reduced to a tangled,
muddied, jumbled mass of wreckage.
Entire buildings were missing; the
fate OF their occupants unknown.
Streets were blocked by rubble
that once was buildings. Power
lines were down. Railroad marrow
gauge tracks were twisted. A huge
steel bridge was washed out. Scores
of small craft were shattered.
Out in the harpor the ocean was
pouring through the breakwater
that cost several million dollars to
build.
From the air the water front
looked as if the ocean had picked
up buildings. swept them out to sea
then dashed them back on land
again like thousands of matches.
The waves played gruesome
tricks. A house was perched on a
bridge. An oil barge was balanced
on the edge of a dock. The Hilo
Yacht Club. with A huge dance
floor, was moved several hundred
feet.
A bar was cleared Of furniture.
