Description
Excerpt from San Francisco Through Earthquake and Fire
After forty-eight tumultuous seconds, every one of which was packed with sensations of destruction, followed a bewildering calm. Then people rushed out-of-doors, and the streets were full of men in parti colored pajamas and women in night-gowns, all call ing wildly one to another. A few knelt on the curb in prayer, while the crowd looked vacantly at the quiet buildings as if still expecting to see them fall. Clouds of brick-dust rose from the silent city.
