LEAP INTO WATER TO ESCAPE FIRE
MILLIQNS IN 'QUAKE REGION,
MANY INJURED, ARE WITH
OUT HOMES OR FOOD.
Great Crevices Open in Yokohama
Streets, New Islands Forced Up
From Bed of Ocean. Ships From
Many Ports Carrying Supplies.
With 330,000 dead, twice that many
injured and property losses estimated
at $£10.000.000,000, the island kingdom
of Japan is striving gallantly to raisc
its head again after one of the most
terrible catastrophes of modern his
tory. A series of earthquakes, follow
ed by tidal waves and terrible fires,
laid waste Tokyo, the capital city, Yo
kohama, one of the leading Japanese
seaports, and a dozen other cities and
towns ranging in population from 50,-
000 to 500,000.
U. S. Leads in Relief Work.
ILead by the United States, where
the American Red Cross has begun a
campaign to raise $5,000,000 for re
lief work in the afflicted islands, the
entire world is rushing ‘food, clothing
and medical supplies to the millions ofi
starving, homeless, destitute, discour
aged Japanese in the quake district.
American ships are rushing food
stuffs from the Philippines, while
British, French and Dutch vessels are
engaged in relief work irom Chinese
and Australian ports. The Japanese
emperor has given $5,000,000 of his
private fortune for relief work, and
the Japanese government has appro
priated $4,500,000.
So vast an area of Japan has been
devastated by the greatest earthquake
in the history of this country that it
will be long before the actual loss of
life is known.
Tokio and Yokohama, with sur
rounding towns, which formed the
center of the disturbances, are almost
completely in ruins. For two days To
kio was swept by flames and apart
from the loss of life caused directly
through the falling of the buildings
thousands must have perished in their
attempts to make their way through
the fire zones and other thousands
from exhaustion.
Only Two Houses Remain.
An official report is quoted to the
effect that of all Yokohama only two
houses remain standing, all the others
having collapsed or been destroyed by
fire. :
All advices indicate a succession of
earth disturbances in that area extend
ing for many miles inland and to the
north, and everywhere the first de
structive forces were augmented by
explosions, the bursting of water
mains, the overflow of rivers and the
terrible overpowering rush of tidal
waters.
Details of geographical changes are
lacking but it is reported that new is
lands have been forced up from the
bed of the ocean, while whole sections
have disappeared. Rivers are said to
have changed their courses, and vol
canoes are erupting in various dis
tricts.
There were 216 distinct earthquakes
experienced in Tokio on Saturday,
the most severe having a duration of
six minutes from first to last. There
were 57 shocks the following day.
All around for many miles other
cities, towns and villages have been
dashed from their foundations, and
what the vibrations of the earth failed
to accomplish was completedp by fire
and tidal wave.
The, overwhelming effects of the
first shock may be realized when it
is told that thousands of Japanese,
caught by the flames that swept
through the city almost immediately,
driven by the high winds, leaped into
the canals and finding no safety in
any direction were drowned or over
come by the debris which soon chok
ed the waterways.
Isiand Bursts Like Bubble.
Bursting suddenly into violent erup
tion simultaneously with the quakes
that were ravaging the ecastern coast'
of Japan the little volcanic island of |
Oshima, long dormant, blew up and‘
venished into the sea.
How many persons were carried to
death as the fiery mass that a few
minutes before had held above the!
bay the picturesque city of Mother ofl
Pearls collapsed into the deep Pacific
never will be known. |
The disaster of Oshima was per—l
haps the greatest single tragedy of the
carthquakes that destroyved’ Tokio‘!
Yokohama and coastal towns ior a
hundred miles south ~f the latter city.!
