The children serambled out over fallen masses; I still hear their screams. We were tossed abou; and it was impossible to stand. Instinectively we fell to our knees, imploring God's mercy amidst the rearing and thundering of collapsing buildings and rolling earth. "The quake subsided in BR few minutes. These was agony until the air cleared and enabled 4s to see dimly. The micrionaries and a few Chinese began tte rescus work, carrying out child after crild. Three 3 re dead an] six succumbed shor 44 ; "I administered the Sacrament to the dying children. Their agonies were indescribable, with arms and legs and spines broken. "It is impossible to give an ade- quate idea of the misery of the sur- vivors living in mud and straw huts, fearing to return to the few houses standing. The quakes continued for some time. For miles in all direc- tions everything is in ruins." William A. Deicher, a British missionary of the China Inland Mis- sion, writes under date of May 31: "When the crash came om the morning of May 23 my wife and I rushed out and escaped the falling walls of the house.
