Old Pictures Also Documents And Application Photographs Experienced my first earthquake here yesterday and 1 was wide awake! It happened at 2:25 and 1 was sitting on a chair in the hall of the Singer Sewing Machine Co. of­ fices, calmly waiting for my husband. It was on ttie sixth (tup) floor of the tallest building in Lima, ui»d I felt the building swaying' to and fro. I looked in the office and could see Mr. Hawkins sitting calmly in his chair, although looking around, and I thought, “Hl sit here as long as he sits in his chair.” The seconds seemed like minutes; my heart was in my throat and I broke out in a cold sweat. Looked again- at Mr. Hawkins and saw him jump out of bis chair and start for the doorway —likewise did 1. Just then “Doc” (Win Dunshee) came rushing toward me .«mdlML- “"B!tr7WT??nn^ernbIor?" I could have shaken him. I assured him I did and I guess he could tell as much when he took hold of my arm. By this time the doorway was full but. in a few momenta, some one said: “It’s all over." Everyone sort of laughed, rather a nervous relaxation, and went back to work, while I re­ turned to my chair, to get hot and cold, hot and cold, and shiver. Borne fun! I really didn't enjoy it a bit, though I don’t believe Hl feel so nervous another time. And had we been on the street, we probably wouldn't have felt it enough to speak of. To compliment Mis.
