Terrifying Earthquake

A MEMBER of a geological research party, Mr. H. Eve, was out in the Tor ricelli Mountains, Northern New Guinea, with 50 carriers, looking for oil, when he became involved in the recent earthquake in that region. The party had a terrifying experience. The ground seemed to pitch and roll, and they were obliged to hold on to trees. The damage on the lowlands was not severe, but in the hills whole villages were destroyed and many mountain passes were blocked.
