lback for Marie, My wile lowered ltlie boy's cncker- spaniel, climbed out herself and we traded ashore, l By then the whole rock was quivering like jelly. We crossed the lbridge onto Egg Island, which was lnlso quivering. The lighthouse was on a separate rock.

Bridge approaches had been swept away, but we clambered up and crept to the other side of the slope. We stood there watching a huge ivave mount higher and ihigher until it covered the rock we had just left.

That monstrous wave lifted the lighthouse bodily several feet into the sir and swept it over the bridge we had just, crossed. In less than an hour, the rock was swept. clear of all buildings.

We stayed in the lean-to shelter nearly two days.

on the second day we could not stand to see our son Dennis iio hungry any longer and killed our
