  A 
  VILLAGE 
  IN 
  THE 
  HARD-HIT 
  MOSLEM 
  AREA 
  

  

  Bodies 
  of 
  men 
  from 
  the 
  ruined 
  homes 
  to 
  the 
  right 
  were 
  left 
  in 
  the 
  main 
  street. 
  The 
  wall 
  to 
  

   the 
  left 
  was 
  erected 
  after 
  the 
  disaster 
  but 
  partially 
  destroyed 
  by 
  a 
  succeeding 
  shock. 
  

  

  TWO 
  PEOPLE 
  SURVIVED 
  IN 
  THE 
  VILLAGE 
  WHICH 
  ONCE 
  OCCUPIED 
  THIS 
  SITE 
  

  

  The 
  family 
  of 
  the 
  Du's, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  their 
  clan 
  village, 
  lies 
  under 
  this 
  pile 
  of 
  earth, 
  with 
  

   the 
  exception 
  of 
  this 
  house 
  on 
  the 
  outskirts 
  occupied 
  by 
  the 
  old 
  grandfather 
  and 
  grandmother. 
  

   It 
  was 
  covered 
  at 
  the 
  rear 
  and 
  one 
  side 
  as 
  high 
  as 
  the 
  ridgepole 
  (see 
  text, 
  page 
  448).
