In the disaster at Lyons, when two streets in the St. Jean quarter were engulfed in a landslide toward the River Saone, and many people killed in the collapse of high tenements, three motor ambulances conveying the injured were overwhelmed with their drivers when a final avalanche at 4.55 p.m. reduced the street to utter ruin. Hope has been abandoned of saving the earlier victims. The wreckage cannot be entirely cleared for months.
