Riassunto

Excerpt from The Travels of Ellen Cornish

It was in 1907 that Mrs Cornish first visited Jamaica, at the time of the great earthquake. On the fatal 14th of January she was in an upper room of an hotel in Kingston. Feeling a preliminary tremor she sprang to the side of her husband, who was Sitting nearer the centre of the room, and clasped her arms over his head to protect him in case the ceiling should fall. This act probably saved her own life, for had She followed the instinct of self-preservation and fled from the room She would almost certainly have been killed by a mass of brickwork which fell from above the door.
