Description
Title
Front
of
Customs
house
,
Swatow
Description
Swatow
Typhoon
was a
devastating
typhoon
that
caused
the
death
of
thousands
in the
Chinese
city
of
Swatow
in
August
,
1922
. The
total
of
deaths
make
it
one
of the

known
typhoons
in
history
.
Note
with
photo
:
Custom
house
from the
front
. The
photographer
tells
me that the
Chinese
(man
in
foreground)
is
regarding
the
body
of a
small
infant
. A
junk
can be seen
sitting
comfortably
on the
lawn
. All the
concrete
and
iron
fences
are
down
&
the
macadam
road
torn
up. The
top
of the
mast
is gone but the
rest
is
steel
and
stood
. The
front
door
was
smashed
in;
water
was
six
feet
deep
inside
. The
shutters
were
typhoon-proof
but some were
broken
.
