EARTHQUAKE I had just got into bed about half past eleven when I felt the tremor . the bed started to tremble and I noticed the electric light , which was hung on the ceiling , was swaying . then I got out of bed quickly and went to look out of the windows .

I was alone in the house . my wife and children had gone to visit my mother-in-law For three or four minutes . I heard a terrible noise of walls falling down , and people screaming , and I saw clouds of dust in their air . then , the trembling stopped .
