Says She Is Now
Quite Satisfied
Had Rather Enjoyed Experience of
a Dozen Previous Upheavals Dur-
ing 22 Years in California, But
Hopes This Is the (Last.
MeS. C. D'aanase Rene of 42413 East
Third Street, ,Long Beech, Calif„
Iwtuting o,n March 12th to her sister,
Mrs. D. Shanahan, of; 'Sealforth, and
who was formerly Miss Mary. Carlin,
of 'B'eedhwoad, says:
You no doubt have heard over bhe
radio of the great 'calamity which
'has befallen our 'fair .Southland, with
!Lonig Beach the worst sufferer. We
have been led to believe always that
,this particular section was exempt.
from dis'turbance on account :of its
location.
IAt 5:195 on Friday out of a clear
sky we experienced the . terrible
shack, coming without a moment's
warning. I had dinner all ready wan-
ing for Albert to come 'from school
where • they had a .three cornered
track meet 'with San Pedro and Re-
dondo. I was rwalking across the .din-
ing room when the shock : came aid
S was backed against the wall. My
canary was in a cage on, a high stan-
dard : and I saw that falling, so I
grabbed bhe cage while a lorvelySat-
S'atu'rday, and I 'am told by .neigh-
bors that there were two goad ones
during last'.night, but we did not
hear them, which is evidence ,that we
can get used to anything. ,Even w'h'ile
II rattle this off, the radio is on full
blast and we have felt two fair
shakes.
We 'have lived in California for
nvore than 212 yearsand have experi-
enced some dozen really .noticeable
unheamals, but this is the • first that
'dstwrbed me. I have rather enjoyed
the sensation' 'before and 9.10C opted
'bhent as one more experience, ,but I
am quite satistfied',ew and hope this
lis the last.
(Some of our friend's had so much
damage to the interior and -to funn!i-,
shings, and the dishes broken is no
joke. The Halls .gathered up 2 bush-
el baskets out of the kitchen cup-
board. Our cu'plboards were all hook-
ed, for a wonder, and nothing brok-
en. The 3 plates 'slid off the gas oven'
and 2 broke. The wom'a'n .next door
bo us says every dish in a china
closet is gone. Her husband is a vio-
linist in the Band and they were
eating dinner. He just did not wait
for the door, but went right through
the windolw, while the wife's father
dragged her out the door. People will
run out, when they are really safer
inside a house. Very few houses fall,
and people who were killed were hit
by chimneys and such falling on them
outside. .
Do you remember when you were
here that there had been so many
bungalows built with the porches set
on *concrete pillars ? Well, all over
town we found these ,porches all
skewgee with the upper part set off
the concrete,' and they look like some
crazy movie scene. I guess every
zuma vase smashed to the floor :from l+bni•ck chimney in Long Beach is
the (Radio. TIh'at was the only thing d'o'wn. We drove by the old 5th
broken in the livin:g room' although
lamps, candlesticks and vases all fell
to the floor from mantel, ,piano 'an:d
'desk. The chandelier over the dining
(table swayed, to the ceiling. The
rumbling was terrifying, the build-
ing shook and groaned and I could
hear dishes scooting tothe floor all
over the neighborhood, neighbors
running out. of their homes scream-
ing. Arthur carie down bhe stairs in
three juntp5 and :yelled: "It's an
earthquake, and I don't mean' may-
be." I!n.,four minutes' after the quake,
:the gas was turned off throughout
the city and we are advised today
that it will be a week before it can
be used, -as every appliance must be
inspected. The electricity has been
almost continuous, so with a few ap-
pliances we -get on fairly well, Thous-
ands Uf people have been obliged to
vacate their, homes and are sleeping
in autos, camps, cots and beds in
yards and parks, and there are com-
munity kitchens in all of the parks.
Either we are s'ligh'tly out of the
rine or this house is exceptionally
well built, for there. is not a crack in
the 'building, "Frame and stucco
bnildings are in fair shape generally
but everything with brink is -de
molis'hed, I went down town this
morning 'for the first time and it is
unbelievable, The 10 and 12 st'ory
reinforced concrete bank and office
buildings seen to be all right while
2 and 3 and even one story sh'op's
have fronts' or whole sides out, .plate
glass windows smashed, tools torn
off, bricks all over. Whole blocks are
shirt off from traffic and pedestrians
take to bhe nniddle,of the street. Long
Beach has always been the city of
churches and schools. Well, there
meas mot one church open today and
practically every onedamaged, the
majority a total loss, and there were
no favorites. I shall send you a
paper. The 'Press -Telegram .6 story
building had to .be abandoned and
.the paper was printed in Pa:sad'ena
last night. It is tragic to see ' the
schools lowered and "there will be no
school this week at least. The .buil'd-
ings where Art and Bud attend are
quite new and the only damage ap-
parent from the outside is the col-
lapse of the gymnasium, Bud was
just through with track and was- en-
tering the .gym to change -his clothes,
so he got an awful scare so that he
is hardly over, it yet. He was ob-
liged to come home in his track suit
and bare feet, and his school clothes
are still in .his locker there, One San
'Pedro boy who bad taken part was
killed in the coll-apse. •
'Tile Naval Fleet is stationed off San
Pedro and within ',an hoar 3,000 mar-

ney is down,and the big porch on

some things anyhow,
IB'ud says to tell you that if these
shakes continue much longer, that he
will 'leave an'd dome aback to Seaforth
and stay with you. I must not forget
to tell you that we have the second
hurdler now. Bud has won his letter
in 2 meets in track. He hurdles, pole-
vaults and runs in the relay, so he has
plenty of grit.
I believe that I have told you a
good deal of the excitement. Hope
you have not•worried. I have thought
of you all so much. My love and that
of the family to •you both, and pass
on the news and ki'n'd remembrance
