of the ravaged areas, said some of
the scenes of suffering rivalled
even the "most Dantesque’ imag
ination.
Four towns which virtually dis
appeared from the map were
Guano, Palate, Pelileo and Pillaro.
Eyewitnesses returning from
Ambato, largest city to receive the
full force of the shocks, said the
number of dead and injured un
doubtedly had been underestim
ated.
These witnesses said the rav
aged area now is only a cemetery
where the odor of death is almost
unbearable.
They said the number of per
sons buried along the slopes of
Tungurahua Volcano may never
be known. They reported that
when the quakes struck masses of
earth slid away from the moun
tain sides and the volcano erupted.
