EARTHQUAKE SCHEME.
NEW ZEALANDER IN CALIFORNIA. A description of the earthquake damage in California Is contained in a letter written to Mrs V. Aldridge of Wellington by her sister, Airs Winter Hall, wife of the well-known film actor, and Formerly Miss Kate Young, of Wellington. “ You will have seen and be seeing by the papers all about tile terrible earthquake we have had here,” Mrs Hall writes. “We felt a very had shake on Friday, about six o’clock, but didn’t know how much damage it had done until later in the evening when we heard it over the radio.
“Hollywood really had no damage at all, except the fright of It, and down town Los Angeles had very little. The parts where all the damage and loss of life occurred, are about 30 -or -iO miles from where we live, and it has really been very dreadful there. The pictures of it in the papers look just the same as the New Zealand earthquake and you will know just how everything is.
“We are still having smaller shakes which of course, are very alarming, but 1 think the worst is over.”
