Tourists, some in pajamas,

Hilo and other coastal towns was
completed by 10 p. m. Hilo is
some 200 miles southeast of Ho

from three to more than six feet,
struck at famed Waikiki Beach in
Honolulu and all of the other is
lands in the chain.
Civil Defense authorities said
the death toll might have been
much higher if residents had not
been warned to head for higher

Police cars wilh sirens wailing

Honolulu Star-Bulletin reporter
Edward Kngledow, describing one
of the waves thai hit Hilo today,
said:
"The wave came like a freight

Gov. William F. Quinn, who
spent (lie night at Civil Defense

emergency at 3 a.m. (8 a.m.

Hilo "is a scene of utter devasta

a telephone call. "There are many
injuries. Some people are trapped
in buildings and are shouting for

Engledow said an entire city
block was reduced to shambles.
"One building has been sucked
completely across the street by a
giant wave. Homes have been car

waves, he said.
Civil Defense authorities feared
the death toll would rise. Many
persons were reported pinned un

buildings and homes.
Other islands suifering major
damage were Oahu, Kauai and
Maui.
Engledow said nearly every
building in Hilo's Waikea district,
a waterfront community with
mostly frame, one-story struc

third wave.

The senator said during a tele

He said he believed Sen. John

Johnson also said on the pro
