At Kaye St., a friend bound up Mrs. Bayers wounds, and gave her socks. Geneva received a child’s shirt, and a shawl but no foot covering. They continued on their way. Someone said that Pier 2 was wrecked. Geneva began to cry because of her father, but looked up to see him coming toward her uninjured. They went into the “Admiral’s House,” where they were given “something hot” to drink. It made Geneva feel “dizzy-like”. She was just going to sleep, when the second alarm drove them out upon the street again. They wandered to the Common, whence they were taken by motor to Camp Hill, remaining until Sunday. They are now installed in temporary quarters on Rector St.

J. H. Mitchell.
