It swept over the hills and down Into the valleyes for a distance of miles to Lake Isec, which‘check|p the momentum of t'ha vast stream,* arresting its course. Bergamo valley is nothing but a barren waste of mud and water—a veritable lake in which it is dangerous to venture, for in some plase it is over a man’s head. In this soggy mass, the bodies of the victims lie tangled among fallen trees, telegraph poles, buildings and bridges.
