Rathkey and her children were killed in their home. Many cases of destitution were reported on Wednesday. It took much time to prepare card indexes of sufferers' wants and to make requisitions on the central relief station at the Auditorium for supplies.

When Merton came with the next load I told him that he could put the horse in the stable and help us.
