Transcriber's Note
Chapters 27 and 33 both end abruptly in the middle of a sentence. Thereare no omitted page numbers, so it is likely that thiswas an error made by the publisher when the book was in preparation.
There are some instances where sections of text are repeated,and these are preserved as printed. It may be that this book was publishedvery hurriedly following the earthquake, and that these repetitions were simply missed.
