perienced a reverberation of the
earthquake in Chile when they fled
to the high mountelne before a greet
tidal wave which the wireless said
'as sweeping across the Pacific.
‘‘Heavy earthquake in Chile with
tidal wave, may reach you," read a
private radio message received her*
November 12 from New Zealand.
The message waa shown tho gover-
of the colony but ths governor
reckoning the 4,000 miles of aea be
tween Chile and Tahiti where
would have ample space to spread
out, thought it unnecessary to alarm
the inhabitants.

of Papeete, being the only elective
official on the island, is a sort of
tribune to tho people and he eaw
at once a chance to loom large in the

mathematicians, and they figured die
conclusion that it would strike the
island with devastating fnry on the
night of November 16 or the morn*
ing of the 16th.
