ST. JOHNS, Nf., Nov. 2?.. (A)
Kye-witness descriptions of the
devastation wrought by the tidal
wave which struck the coast of Hit
rin jieninsula after the earthquake
last Monday spurred relief workers
today in their effort to reach the
stricken fishing villages.
The list ol known dead wa3
placed at Tl in an official report
by Koyenue Inspector Dee, who
took charge of rescue work and
arrived here with the first grotto
of survivors. Unofficial estimates
of the dead were hetween 3ti and
40.
Fear that tho death list might be
even larger was increased by the
fact that the wave destroyed
bridges and damaged roads, cut
ting off communication- with a num
ber of small fishing communities.
Provisions medical supplies, physi
cians and nurses are being taken
to the stricken communities by
government steamers.
A vivid picture of the sudden
devastation that descended upon
the coast villages was given by the
Rev. Father Miller. Komnn Catho
lic priest at Burin, who arrived
here with a delegation to place the
plight of the residents before the
government.
Tnvekd Fast
The speed with-which the wave
traveled along the coast was so
great, he said, that a warning mes
sage from a girl telephono oper
ator nt Lamalfue reached the Ilurin
operator almost simultaneously
wilh tho1 advancing wall of water.
"The sea is coming in," cried
the hamaline operator over the
wire. Hut her warning was cut
short ,as the wave caught up the
telephone office and carried it out
to sea. She barely escaped with
her life. The Hurin operator was
unable to spread th eatarm, so
short was the time before the ar
rival of the wave.
Afterward It was found that ft
had gouged a channel four feet
deep out of solid rock and had de
stroyed a bridge.
Through the darkness mily could
be made out houses afloat. As
the wave reached Its height some
were flung back with succeeding
waves two and three time, then as
the waters receded they went to
sea with the speed of a steamer.
Many Heroes
Many deeds of heroism occurred
within the terrifying 15 minutes.
Men rushed through the waters-to
the houses on the lower levls.
Thtowing caution to the winds they
clambered to the roofs, smashed in
the windows, dragged our women
and children nnd leaped to safety
as the dwellings were caught In
the turmoil, and swept to sen.
A man named Fudge, of Port An
P.ras, was a short distance from
home. Seeing the Incoming flood,
he rushed to save his family. His
nath was blocked by a house float
ing by. As the house passed he
saw his wife and children in It,
but he was loo late to save them.
In Stepaside, a house containing
10 persons was carried to gen
three times. On the Inst occasion
that it returned to shore tho elder
members, holding the young chll
dren. leaped nml -all were saved.
Another family also wnB carried
out three times only to be borne
back and eventually escape.

In the upper reaches of Wagner

The four small, fires In the Apple

been extinguished or placed under
control, as, if they are still burn

fied. Nothing is known as to the ex
tent of the new forest fire re
ported yesterday, except that it Is
located in the Applegate district
on I'pper KllloLt. creek toward
Ward's fork, and is sending up
much smoke. Jt is a good half

to the scene. Iee Port, ranger
of Crater National forest, who Is
in charge of this fire, left this
morning with n force of fire fight
ers he had gathered for the fire,
and no news is expected from him
today unless the. fire should be a
very serious one and spreading. In
which ease the forest office here
would be communicated with foi
