Following Is his account of the destruction he saw during the nearly four-hour hell copter flight. By R, E. STANNARD Chittagong, Pakistan - tUPD -The howling cyclones and the walls of water which struck here during the past three weeks left behind a waste land of corpses. Te bodies of some of the more than 10,000 men, wom en and children who were killed lay spreadeagles and swollen on beaches and in fields. Cattle carcasses rotted un der tropical skies. Desperately hungry and thirsty villagers waved frantically for help as our helicopter churned above the sodden brown fields and tree-lined plots of earth where houses once stood. A cyclone and tidal wave hit Oct. 10. Five days ago, the storm and flood brought more tradegy to East Pakis tan's citizens on the Bay of Bengal. The destructive storm Monday lashed a 30-mile zone between the port of Chitta gong and Katubdia island, then dealt the death blow with a 30-foot wave of water, a . .(,V; . . a . -J!I.s"t: ' ' .f '.'

Whole villages disappeared. Villagers at Mogilalia said many who climbed to roof tops to escape the water were swept away when high winds tore the roofs off their homes. I saw the bodies of a wom an and a small child, still un claimed, after they apparent ly had been washed from a distant village. 1 saw matted and twisted grain stalks which looked from the air like shaggy dog fur. Grown men wept in tolling of the storm. In one village, I saw a woman wailing for her dead. Makeshift Shelter In some villages, home steads arc makeshift shelters. Clothing has been spread out to dry on the ruins of farm houses while the surround ing tidal flats are strewn with cooking pots and household goods. There is a complete absence of roads, which is why the distribution of food, medicine and disinfectants against dis ease has been hampered. Air lifts and coastal steamers carry army relief crews who unload the supplies while others question villagers to get an Idea of the scope of the damage, Twenty - four hours after last Monday's storm, the gov- eminent was unable to de termine where the brunt of the storm had struck because of communications breaks. Tuesday, the major efforts were turned to Chittagong and neighboring areas Cranei on Roofs Chittagong itself shows heavy damage along its sea ward side with several huge cranes lying on warehouse roofs, toppled by the winds and wave. Ships are aground and loading docks are piled on shore. The city looks as though struck by a huge bomb, with walls gone and trees uprooted. Patenga airport was Immo bilized for several days. Homeless villagers wander aimlessly on the city s out skirts. The storm passed within hours but will be remembered by the people-those who sur- vived-for a lifetime Brainchild - X4 I J S ffT-ir. 1 m r J B Y 4 I if vvXAH5T I I i v v-Ntt X i XSTO.XSi .. . fc'VXy !
