It is believed that there are only one hundred] survivors at Avezzauo. They are camped around tires in the principal square and seemed to have lost their senses, and to be incapable of aiding the victims. They thus passed the night. One survivor states that he was in the street when it was shaken to pieces. Others state that tho destruction eclipses that at Messena, and the town is one immense oemetery. Under the ruins of a college a young girl's voice was heard saying, "There are 140 still alive, bring help quickly." «-,,..„„ „„,l U-01-.Q. aoarr. '

Groans and cries were heard everywhere from the ruins. Winety-five of the Oarabiniers, composing the garrison were killed. Twenty other towns were destroyed including Magliauo and Dia Marsi.
