The Great Earthquake.
The correspondent of the Londun Stand- ard writes from Naples on the Ist iust., tas follows: The unfortunate little town of Casamicciola, from the ruins of which I have just returned, is situated on the west- ern shore of the Island of Ischia, and is or rather was, one of the most lovely and attractive summer resorts in all that beauti- ful island. As such it must have been known to many of your readers, and under- standing the anxiety which the first news of the catastrophe would raise in the minds of many English persons who might have friends in the south, yet be ignorant of their whereabouts, one of my first cares was to try and obtain lists of the visitors at the different hotels. But in vain. The authorities are endeavoring to ascertain the exact number of visitors conveyed to the Island by ;tia@ different steamboat com- panies, and, degrees, tolerably perfect lists will be published; but to seek at Cas- samicciola, at present, where landlords, visitors, books and mcords of all kinds lie buried beneath the ruins of the houses that sheltered them (except in the case of those who have been saved and transported to | Naples) is indeed a vain and hopeless task. | Cassamicciola consisted of a row or two of houses, and a little piazza on the shore level, the rest of the town rising abruptly on the hill side, on which it scattered itself in a capricious and irregular manner, which gave it a singularly picturesque and agree- able aspect, as seen from the sea. Hotels, pensions, and private houses seemed to have perched themselves capriciously here and there among their gardens and orange groves, aud some of the streets in the upper town ran in the same way along the edges of natural terraces in the hill-side. This conformation of the town has certainly aided to the horrors of .its present situa- tion. In some cases houses falling bodily from above crushed others standing on a lower level. In others, as for instaace near the little church, whole buildings have toppled from the little coign of vantage on which they stood, into the adjacent valley, forming masses of masonry, . dislodged earth, and half-rooted trees, which rende-
for the bodies of almost superhuman di culty.
All the most trustworthy evidencs whic I have been able to gather goes to show th: the natives of the island themselves had certain warning of coming danger, in tl
the drying up of certain wells in the neig! borhood; about three days before tl catastrophe. spoiling an unusually successful season,
from that extraordinary indifference whic grows upon people who live near suc scenes of peril, these facts were hept quie or made light of, or perhaps not real properly uuderstood by those to whom tha were know. I know of one lady, now sa” in Naples, who, declaring she had felt
slight, but unmistakeable, undulatory shoc of earthquake, insisted on leaving tl island on Thursday before the disaste
laughed at by her friends. It would hay been well if her fears had been mor generally shared.
On the evening of Saturday, 28th July no such thing was in people’s minds. Th salons of the different hotels and pension_ were even gayer and fuller than usual, as i is common for persons detained elsewher by business during the week to rejoin thei friends and families who are in villeggiatur: from the Saturday to Monday. Thus, o1 that fatalevening it was in the midst o, music, laughter, and gay social enjoymen that the terrible voice of the earthquake made itself heard without apparont warn- ing. All the survivors agree that the first shock was accompanied by a dreadful noise, which some compare to the explosion of a mine, and others to the passage of heavy artillery over an iron bridge. In _ fifteen seconds all was horror, darkness and ruin. On the victims of the calamity the first effect seems invariably to have been an utter paralysation of will. Many even of those who were unhurt remained, as if stupefied, near the ruins, or went feebly to and fro, wailing out ‘‘Have you seen my husband?” ‘*Whereare my children?’ or ‘‘brother,” or ‘‘sister,” as the case might be. Darkness and thick clouds of sulpharous dust concealed the extent of the disaster from the miserable survivors, all the lights of the town being extinguished; but for many hours the cries and lamentations of the wounded and half buried victims sound- ed dolefully in the ears of those who could neither see nor help them. Unhappily, the Telegraph Office was one of the first buildings to be utterly wrecked, which occasioned serious delay in obtaining as- sistance from the main land, while several of the roads across the Island—that lead- ing to the town of Ischia, for example— were so much damaged as to be for a time impassable,
As soon as the disaster became known
morning, the authorities, military and civil, were soon on the spot, vying with each other in the double task of saving the
the task of regular excsvation and seargy
form of very slight shocks, and especial¥+| Clothing.
But either from the fear ut

in Naples, which was early on the Sunday |
than five amputations were being proceeded with at one time. Planks, tents, beddiny, and appliances, however, soon poured in, and the wounded were carefully despatched to Naples, where they soon filied to over-
owing all the available space in the numerous hospitals.
The actual moment of the explosion has peen variously stated. The clock in the Sala Belliazzi stopped at twenty-two minutes past nine, bnt it is generally agreed that the real time was fifteen or twenty minutes later—a singular detail, which I think has not been generally noticed. The play, which was being per- formed by a company of comedians in the temporary little wooden theatre of Casamic- ciola, had for one of its chief incidents the fright of some of the characters about an alarm of earthquake, and the actors were jesting with the terrible visitant when it really came. The theatre, however, with its slight wooden walls and canvass roof, claimed no victims, and, except some contusions caused by an alarm ef fire when ‘the lamps fell, I believe all its occupants escaped uninjured.
The Government has at last taken the measures so Clearly indicated by the previ- ‘ous, although lesser, calamity of 1881. At a Council yesterday it was decided to pro- hibit the erection of any building in masonry on this unfortunate site of the future; only wooden and the light iron erections will be permitted. The neighbor- ing small towns and villages of Lacco Ameno, Forio, Panza, Barano, and Cilio were also heavily visited; the former is ‘almost depopulated, and the distress arising from broken communications, want of shelter, food, clothes,and medicaments has has been terribly felt by the unfortunate inhabitants of all those places. © Bat Casamicciola is the great centre of horror and desolation. I have informed you by telegraph of the terrible reasons which induced the Minister ta order quicklime to be freely used wherever the ruins were of such a nature as to give no rational hope of recovering living victims. The ruins, even where they are thirty or forty feet
deep, are not a compact mass, it must be remem bhorod ary Awe “wevess Wels ©

[t is not too much to say that Mr. Lewis Nisbit and Mr. Newbery were the saviours of many hundreds of lives. Since the great shock, Mr. Newbery has also been active in exploring the scattered houses to- wards the interior of the island, and he says there are numerous cases where no help has as yet Leen forthcoming to ex- cavate although those who eacaped hover, maimed and wounded, around the ruins where the rest of their families are inter- red, perhaps dead, perhaps still lingering ia a living death.
It is extremely difficult to transport the wounded down to the shore, for in many cases the roads are broken away or piled with masses of fallen walls and houses. And the military surgeon sent to Lacco Amene is unable, apparently, from the nature of his official instructions, to absent himself from his post in order to seck ont these isolated cases, which require to be tended on the spot. The Red Cross Society's contingent is at present actively occupied at Forio. The services of a few active volunteers, possessing some surgical knowledge, would be invaluable «at Lacco just now. Oassamicciola has already been largely succoured; but the help both in men and material, which has been sent as yet to Forio, Lacco Ameno, and the outlying roe is quite insufficient. The surviving inhabitants appear stil! too panic stricken to render much active help and are also suffering from the want of food sufticient in quality and quantity to sustain them under av) serious exertion, The most urgent needs at Lacco are sail-cloth and planking for the erection of tents, so that the poor people may be induced to leave their dangerous dwellings of stone and brick; and meat for the sick, the aged, and the children. Money sent for this gurpone will be acknowleded by Mr.
ewbery, and, to save time in. trans- mission, may be paid to F. Newbery and Sons, 2, King Edward-street, London. Seventeen isolated cases of sick and wound- ed,—many with shattered limbs—in the country between Lucco and Forio, were registered by Mr. Newbery in his researches yesterday. The Islanders and the Neapoli- tans, who know the place well put the dead at.seven thousand, but so far as the author- ities have been able to verify as yet, the real approximate number of victims appear to be five thousand, inclusive of Cassamic- ciola, Forio, and Lacco Ameno. The sur- vivors, who have in most cases lost every- thing, also number thousands, and their need is very urgent,

A small roll of music | was between his knees, while on the top of |the broken piano were Liszt’s ‘‘Rhapsodie | Hongroise” and a small volume of ‘‘The | Beauties of Shakespeare.” This was shown {to me immediately afterwards. One lady, | finding the stairs of her huuse gone, al- | though the walls stood, tied her infant be- \tween two pillows and threw it into the ‘road, when it was found unhurt ; but, in atteinpting to lower herself by means of sheets she fell and broke her leg. In

‘another house, two young children found |fragments of masonry falling on the bed on lwhich they lay, the little boy of five, | managed to extricate his baby sister, and then both children went to sleep again }and were so found quite unharmed by the | Carbineers.
Subscriptions for the relief of the wound- ‘ed, as well as for the utterly ruined and -homeless, are being opened everywhere, and promise well. The Government is | doing its part, and the King, personally, as ‘always, acts a fine example of charity and ‘abnegation. The Pope, too, has sent large ‘sums to the Archbishop of Naples for the ‘relief of the sufferers. But the task is a ‘colossal one ; some thousands of persons jare ruined and helpless. ‘subscription has been already opened at ‘New York, and I doubt not that the Eng- ilish public, always generous and pitiful to | distress, will also put forth a helping hand ‘for the alleviation of a calamity which is scarcely paralleled within the present cen-
tury.
