A historical account discusses landslides and geological dangers, noting avalanches, earthquakes, and volcanic activity as common knowledge. It cites ancient and modern events including Mount Ida and Vesuvian dangers, describes wrecks, and recalls village destructions across regions with drought followed by heavy rain triggering debris flows.
A fragmented nineteenth century column recounts a landslide burying Goidan Rothen and Busingen in Canton Sohorytz with 450 dead, and a Swiss peasant's miraculous 80 day rescue after being buried in a shepherds hut. It also chronicles the Moving Rock on a lake, a ghostly village reaction, and a Dickensian mix of other curiosities and anecdotes from a far flung era.
Fragmentary text from a San Francisco Chronicle item mentions a boy and temptations around sales, with garbled phrases and brittle dialogue. The readable portions reference a boy on his line, a beral misread, and a taunting remark about knocking something out of someone, yielding a cryptic, disorderly snapshot of a newspaper page.
