THE EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH AMENIOA.
The central point of the recent great earth
quake is said to be the sea-port town of Arica, a
place of 30,000 inhabitants in the lower part of
Peru; Long. 70° W., Lat. 18° S. From this
point the shock seems to have been felt as far
north at Quito, and as far 'Smith SA the; central
portions of Chili, thus extending over nearly the
whole western coast of the continent. The
earthquake at Arica is thus described by an eye
witness of August 13th;
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon, in the
most mountainous part of the country back of
Arica, a sensation was experienced like the col
lision of two heavy maa§eii. Tbiee dndolitions
of the earth followed tliis 'unseen cOnvursion of
nature, and each undulation was accompanied by
a tidal wave---4he Sebond of 'greater lateral ex
tent than the first, and the third greater than
the second.
The hour was that when by custom most of
the inhabitants had just closed their daily labors
and were at their bodies: The instant the start
ling indications of an earthquake were felt there
was a general rush for uncovered spaces, which
were reached by many uninjured; but not by all.
The streets became a scene of terror. All the
houses in the city trembled like a person affected
with the ague. Then they, surged, and some of
them fell to pieces with crash after crash. At
this juncture, when the undulations were active,
the earth opened in several places in long , and
almost regular lines. The fissures were from
one to three inches in width. The sensation was
distinct as though something was rolling under
neath. From every fissure there. belched forth
dry earth like dust, which Was followed by a
stifling gas. Owing to the demolition of build
ings and the general destruction of all kinds of
property, and the dust belched forth, as well as
that set in motion by the general tumult, a dense
cloud' was formed over the city and obscured the
light. Beneath the cloud was the'gas, which se
verely oppressed every living creature, and would
have suflOcated all these if it had lingered longer
stationary than it did, which was only about 90
seconds. The undulations were three in num
ber. Each succeeding' one was of greater mag-'
nitude thau the former. When the undulations
ceased, the cloud of dust ascended and dispersed,
and light was restored. Then quakes at short
intervals succeeded, as though subterranean ex
plosions or collisions were taking place. At this
time, people from all parts of the city fled to the
hills, amid falling stones and timbers, which de,
scended from swaying walla and, broadly'-r efit buildings, just on the eve of crumbling into
perfect ruin, Some wore r struek down dead by
the falling materials, and • oth*s*.e.re Maimed,
while all were made to stagger from side to side
like people in a state of intoxication. Many of
both sexes carried children in their arms, and
those who had not these carried articles of value.
The avarice of some was stronger than fear, even
amid this terrible confusion, and hence there
were those who dallied to collect valuables, many
of whom suffered for their temerity, either by
the sacrifice of their lives or otherwise. The
water in the harbor was now receding from the
shore, bearing with it all the shipping at a rapid
speed. Then the current changed, and before
an almost overhanging, tremendous wave, the
vessels came back, tossed one way and then an
other, or whirled about as though they were only
floating logs, and on the very summit of this int
1110E150 volume of water rode the United States
steamer Wateree. The huge wave dashed against
the stone mole or pier, and shattered it all to
pieces, then swept from its path what was stand
ing of the Custom House, and almost every
vestige of the ruins of' other buildings. It
rolled over the already destroyed houses of the
city, and set a myriad of articles afloat, which
eddied in every direction, while at the same time
the vessels and floating materials were forced
ahead of the wave's (at this time) curling and
foaming summit. Ev rything, which it en
countered in its course was swept away in an in
stant, Even great masses of stone were rolled
over and over. When the force of the wave
was spent, it retired, and in a short time the
equilibrium of the water was restored, and then
it occupied about the same line, and preiented
nearly the same appearance as it did before the
earthquake. The vessels carried inland were a
terrible sight. The most. of them were bottom
upward. Their masts had been snapped like
sticks. All this dreadful picture the refugees on
the hills were now beholding. The Wateree was
a-ground inland at a quarter of a utile from the
beech, on the line of a railroad. As far as heard
from only one life was lost on board. Near the
Wuteree, a Peruvian war vessel was also ground
ed, and so gently that none of its tiring nor
any of its timbers were impaired. On board
the Peruvian war-steamer Ainerica, which is a
total wreck, 80 lives were repOrted to have been.
lost. The United States store-ship Fredonia
was upset, and all her crew except three drowned,
according to reporti., escaped were
the captain, surgeon, and a paymaster, who were
on shore when the earthquake occurred, and
sought refuge on the hills. A British vessel,
called the Chanareillo, lost many of her crew,
who were tumbled overboard.. ..A. United States
brig, name unknown, was foundered with all on
board. The vessel, it is rmplied,'waa laden with
guano. The rest of the shipping destroyed were
South American coasters. The fatal casualties
in the city Were about 50, and the other casualties
about 100. The total' loss on shipboard was
about 300, principally fatal. The refugees re
mained on the hills for ON clays, during which
time they suffered greatly for food; and at the
tame time the, quakes continued as before, at in
tervals. In time' their' Bullrings became tio in
tense that the men had-6'o l 6'We City in search

place, which is worthy of note. The atmos
phere immediately after the first shock of earth
quake was so charged with the electric fluid that
in passing the hand through the hair or shak
ing one's clothes, sparks, as if from burning
tow, would escape in great abundance. This
phenomena lasted for some time and produced
much alarm,
Northward, in Tacna, there were 64 different
shocks, continuing to the 16th inst. The towns
of Santa and Lacomba are nearly destroyed. The
earth opened in many places and vomited forth
hot water. The valley of filets, is desolated. At
Carieta at about 5 o'clock P. M., the shock was
so severe as to cause the earth to roll froth side
to side, so that the bells of the churches wereset
in motion and chimed forth doleful peals; the
houses rocked from side to side, the earth rose
and fell, and all the motions of "it steamer in
rough weather was experienced. The port of
Cerro Azal was. destroyed by the: inundation.
The loss is estimated at $500,000. At Yslay the
first shock lasted seven or eight minutes. Dur
ing the night forty minorphocks.were k felt,,and
the earth continued in motion. up. to 'the 17th.
Shortly after
,the first shock,the sea retired with
a great velocity, and returned five times in suc
cession, until an hour and a half later it rose to
over forty .feet above its usual level. Yslay is
built on an eminence of about 100 feet above.the
level of the sea, and hence no damage was done
to the town; bitt,-in`. the' bays- all tkeboats and'
launches were 'detitrOyed'. The beautiful city of
Arequipa is completely , destroyed,not a church
has been left standing or a house habitable.
The houses being very solidly, built and ortly one
, . • • • "4.
story high, resisted for a few minutes, affording
time for many of theinhabilarits to ge,t - intb'flai
streets, so that 'the mortality, although great; is
not so considerable as it might, have been. But
at least 2 , 000 persons perished. The convicts in
the public prisons and the sick in, the hospitals
were all crush,d,to death. 'The shirieks of men,
women and children frantic with fright, the
crash of falling masonry, the upheaving of the
earth, and the clouds of,burning anft , suffoeating
dust, althgether coastituted a scene Which baffles
description. , The earth continued in motion fur
18 hours, and slight shocks are still felt. The
volcano is not in a state of eruption; and, hence
it is feared the danger is not yet over. , '
Chala, another s port, is a 11,4' of ruins.
The earthquake occurred ..hereon the 16th, and
the havoc continued 45 minutes. The steamship
Santiago, which was in port, parted her cable,
but rode ,the awful. wave, Iftrfeet fiigla7Whout
loss, althttifili swept Iltai - the'tottiri one thou- ,
sand feet, and caused a loss of $80,060. The in
habitants saved themselves by running ,te the ,
mountains. ' The town of Malabo is also washed
away, and it is reported that over 600 persons
perished. The towns of Tiobaja, Vitar, Alol
liendo, and Mejia, and all the villmes for over
150 miles around,'Avere eemfifetely-46troyed. In
the two latter places the, materials•for building
the Arequipa Railroad were deposited, all of
which were swept away. Mejillones'kiii Peru)
has also been completely destroyed , so is Pisagua,
110, Junin, and Moquega, in fact the whole coast
south of Callao, as far as Iquique, as one mass of
South of. Arica, the important City of Iti
quique, Peru, was destroyed, The shock was
felt on "the 13th at the same hour with Arica.
The shock was 'tremendous : ' and shook to their
foundations on the rock v tlic most solid buildings.
Immediately on "•the tpatising of the principal
shock, the sea raised_a wave 1:0 the height of
thirty feet, completing the work of destruction
begun by the earthquake. Nothing more appall
ing can be conceived than the double influence
brought to complete a catastrophe, which has no
parallel in the annals of this coast since the de
struction of Qallao inN 1746.. Net a mercantile
establishment Ilas;esSaped, nor does a vestige re
main of the once opulent and handsome sec ion
of the town. The massive buildings belonging
to the Nitrate Merchants, mostly constructed of
stone and lime, have entirely disappeared, and
not even the remains of their whereabouts
That section of the town known by the' i tiame.6f.:
the Puntella has been entirely destroyed, leaving
nothing but the debris and wreck of innumerable
houses; not even the place where any individual
house once stood can be distinguished. The loss,
may be put down at over $2,000,000. The establish
ment of the Tarapaea Nitrate Company, at Molle
(situated eight miles to the south), has entirelf
disappeared. Universal distress pervades every,
grade of society here; very many respectable
merchants and other inhabitants, have been to
tally ruined. The archives of all the consulates
haVe been lost, the same has occurred in the ju
diciary and official departments, the Custom-
House and its dependencies having been totally
washed away.
In the far North, 1,500 miles north-east of,
Arica, as the crow flies, the oft-visited City of
Quito, the Capital of Ecuador, the Niobe of, the,
Western nations, was again nearly destroyed.
Here the shocks, nine in ,number, were felt on
the 16th, eorrirnancina at 1.20 A. M. - All the
churches, convents, and a large number of houses,
are in a state of complete ruin. The undulation
was from North to. South. The. people of the,
capital have all deserted their homes, and ha'
fled to the open country for safety. The destruc
tion extended in a 'greater or less degree over
the whole northern part of the Republic. The
loss of life is frightful; it is estimated that nearly'
30,000 persons have perished, and many more
have been maimed or crippled , for life. The
towns of Ibarra, Olavalo, San Antonio, and.
l'inicho, and numberless farms are wiped from'
the face of the earth. Of the town' of Ibarra
there remains nothing but shapeless ruins, and
but one-sixth of the population survive. Of
those who remain alive, the greater portion are
maimed and injured for life. All .the towns in
the vicinity have likewise been destroyed., The
shooks continued up to the latest accounts, being
repeated nearly every hour.
