  RELIEF 
  WORKERS 
  DIGGING 
  TO 
  RELEASE 
  WATERS 
  BEHIND 
  A 
  QUAKE-MADE 
  DAM 
  

  

  The 
  earthquake 
  made 
  this 
  dam 
  of 
  millions 
  of 
  tons 
  of 
  loose 
  earth, 
  stretching 
  from 
  valley-side 
  

   to 
  vallev-side, 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  seconds 
  of 
  time. 
  

  

  FROM 
  THE 
  TOP 
  OF 
  THE 
  DIVIDE 
  OVERLOOKING 
  THE 
  VALLEY 
  OF 
  DEATH 
  

  

  The 
  terraced 
  hillsides 
  showed 
  seven 
  immense 
  gashes, 
  out 
  of 
  which 
  had 
  poured 
  the 
  loose 
  earth 
  

   deluging 
  the 
  valley 
  floor 
  and 
  hurying 
  farms 
  and 
  villages.
