of the General Electric company, left
Roseburg yesterduy for the east to
obtain further Instructions concern

which he ia employed.
Mr. and Mrs. Elliott reached Yo
kohama on the 2 Dth of August, two
duys before the terrible earthquake
which cost so much in lives and
property. ' .
"Upon our arrival In Yokohama we
found quarters in the Temple Hotel,"
Mrs. Elliott said In describing some
of her experiences. "It was a beau
tiful atructure, about four atorlea
high and built on a Japanese tem
ple plan from which its name was
taken. As houses were scarce we
had decided to spend the winter at
tim hotel as it waa conveniently
equipped and an attractive place lo
live.
"On tho morning of the quake, It
waa oppressively hot. I had been
trying to write a letter but the heat
was so great that I could not bring
myself to finish that task, and X
I thought 1 would lie down for a few
minutes, but the heat made that un

I decided 1 would prepare for lunch

dresser when the shock came.
"Our room was on the Bccond sto

the wreckugo onto the street, 1 can
remember looking up as the build
ing was falling, and seeing the plas

thought It was smoke at flrBt, and I
was Bure that the end had come. I
du not know how I ever got out of
that mass of wreckage. It was only
the iustlnct of self-preservation, a
desire to live, that saved my life.
Something falling on my foot, had
broken one of the small bones, but
1 did not know that until several
daya later.
"As the building fell, I could hear
women and children screaming and
crying for help. One family, a man
and his wife and child, had moved
In the room adjoining ours only a
short time before, and 1 heurd the

It Is hard to describe Just what
on top. Everything just went down
all at once and the ground beneath
rolled and pitched and swung back
and forth.
"It was a terrible and uncanny
feeling. There waa nothing one
could do, no place to go to avoid the
tremors; nothing to do but stand
and wait for possible death. Aa we
tried to make our way along what
had once been streets, we would have i
to stop to await the passing of a
tremor, and would aee huge tele
phone poles away and topple, per-' '
haps mlBBlng us by only a few feet.
Vt ires were everywhere and we bad '
to step carefully to avoid them.
"We finally reached the race track
where people were beginning lo
gather In the open place for safety.
"In the meantime Mr. Elliott waa
making an effort to find me.. He
had gone to the office of the General
Electric company early in the morn
ing, but a short time before the
quake came, he had gone out with
some other men In an automobile to.
one of the suburbs. They were among
the small buildinga when the shock
waa felt and consequently were not
In so much danger. When they
felt the , machine rocking they
thought something was wrong with
the machine, but as the houses went
down like ninepins they realized that
it was an earthquake,
"The earth continued to rock ao
hard that they were forced to aban
don the car as they could not con
trol It and they made their way on
foot back to where the botel had
been. One of the men. who had
lived In Yokohama for a long time,
was completely confused because ev

troyed. Mr. Elliott finally found a
Japanese boy to help him, and after
several hours he succeeded In reach

started several times to go In search
of him, but was persuaded by those
quickly made friends to stay with
them as I would have no chance to
find him and would have only been
running Into danger.
"Ily dark there were eight Ameri
cans giouped together. On one side
hung a great black cloud of smoke.
On the other side huge columns of
smoke and fire shot up from the
burning oil tanks. Before us great
tongues of flames shot up to the
heavens from the great burning city.
On the hill behind us thousands of
Japanese people gathered In Bllence
and watched tho destruction of
tthelr homes.
"All carried lanterns, for In that
country, each person lights his way
about with a lantern such as we use
sometimes for decorations. Along
about midnight we heard a wlerd cry
going up from them. We did not
know what It waa and It certainly
was uncanny. Gradually their lights
went out and the cries aubslded. We
later learned that they were calling
to each other to extinguish their lan
terns for fear they would aet fire
to some of the homes on the hill
which had not yet been destroyed.
