THE LOEN AVALANCHE
SEVENTY OF TIDAL WAVE LAKE BOATS CARRIED FAR INLAND Tress Assoeiation—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, September 15. The Oslo correspondent of ‘ The Times,’ who flew over the scene of the Loen avalanche, describes a once huge, timber-covered promontory cut bare as if by a knife. The severity of the tidal wave is shown by the fact that, a small lake steamer was wrenched from its anchorage and deposited 300 ft above water level, while another steamer, which was stranded in the 1905 avalanche, was carried 150yds farther inland. BRITAIN’S SYMPATHY. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 15. (Received September 16, at noon.) The British Government has addressed a message of sympathy to the Norwegian Government in connection with the terrible disaster at Lake Loen in Western Norway.
