despatch frdm Calcutta, says: -
The story of the destruction of 'the
Ida Villa branch of the Calcutta girls •
school, supported by the Ai:eerie=
Methodiets, is related by Miss Stahl,
who saved many of the children. A
landslip compelled the occupants to
leave the buildings, and Miss Stahl,
guiding the 'children, com,menced a
perilous climb, finally gaining the Mall
rciad. All the titne rain was pouring
down in torrents, the earth was shak-
ing, and the children wore terrified.
The beicknese of the night, 'falling
boulders, the crashing of tee 0, anti

Dears of the earthquake, linen com-
pelled the party to return to t e Ida
Villa. Even then Miss Stahl had it
struggle with. the children, who, fear-
ing the collapse of the house. sought
to fly into the night. -
Misses Reid and Soundry finally
madei another attempt and escaped
with the children. They were, how-
ever, overwhelmed by a landelip. The
teachers escaped, but many of the
children perished, In the meantime
the Ida Villa had been also destroyed,
Will Darker the sole survivor, says
that when it was seen that escape was
impeaeine a sister made them all kneel
in proyer, and while kneeling the
house was swept away.
