About 2,000 were estimated to have been injured and the damage was placed by relief agen- cies at approximately $35,000,000. Long Beach on the coast near Los Angeles, was the hardest hit. The dead there totaled 74 and D. W. Pontius, member of the governor’s emergency relief committee, said the property damage would amount to $25,000,000 in that city alone. Compton and Huntington Park suffered heavily. Comp- ton reported 18 dead and Huntington Park 16 with extensive damage to buildings. The work of digging into the wreckage of buildings, homes and apartments was going forward and there were indications additional bodies would be recovered. There were 23 distinct shocks Friday night and early Sat- urday but they generally were of diminishing intensity. Most of the death and destruction was confined to the vio- lent initial shock which, accompanied by a peculiar roar, rocked the section at 5:55 p. m. Friday, shaking building walls down and starting fires. Some of Saturday niorning’s shocks jarred more debria loose from buildings in the practically-wrecked business section Bedens Beach, which seemed to be the epicenter of these quakes. Dr. Charles F. Richter of the Carnegie Institution seismo- logical laboratory at Pasadena expressed an opinion that the worst of the shocks were over, pointing to scientific records of hundreds of quakes, which are followed by milder after-shocks ao like echoes.
