cembled a tidal wave struck Naples
between 6 and & o'clock this morning
Just after most Neopolltans, shaken
by Tuesday's earthquake, were con
vinced their scares were over for the
present.
One largo wave pounded over the
embankment Into the road along the
sea.
At the same time the strong wind
blew down trees and fragile summer
cottages along the coast.
The residents were still nervous
over the earthquake and were badly
frightened by the newest outburst of
nature. Many of them had spent a
restless night in the parks and public
squares, ufrald to ruturn to their
homes because, of the possibility of
new quakes.
Fishing smacks with their colorful
sails had to point their noses hastily
northward In ordor to escape damage.
Tho storm subsided as quickly as It.
arrived and a dreary drizzle set In.
Naples today had the appearance
of a city under a war-tlmo regime,
with soldiers guarding tho damafted
buildings to ward off the curious and
flags flying everywhere at half mast.
An impressive funeral was held for
the four persons who died in Naples
as a result of the quako and In com
memoration of the two who were
killed at Salerno and ono at Trlani.
Cardinal Ascalesl, - archbishop of
Naples, at the conclusion of the ser
vices brought a sliver bust of St.
Gcnnaro, tho city's patron, to the
steps of the cathedral and blessed the
great crowd which had assembled to
mourn for tho victims.
Volcano In tiruptton
The volcano of Pozzuola a smoky
mountain obscured by the flame of
its mighty neighbor Vesuvius was in .
eruption today.
Seismologists say It was kicked Into
action by yesterday's earthquakes.
The Duchess of Aosta, who yester
day visited the wounded in the hos-
pltais of Naples and did much to
calm the people of the city, went to- j
day into the stricken Interior. She I
