At two minutes before noon on Saturday, 1 September 1923, Tokyo
began to shake again. The earth had shifted beneath Sagami Bay,

said an eyewitness. Roderick Matherson, the Chicago Tribune’s Tokyo correspondent, reported: ‘‘the ground swayed and swung, making a
foothold almost impossible… The groaning of the swaying buildings
rose to a roar, and then a deafening sound as the pitching structures
began to crumble and fall.’’ Desperate people ran out, ‘’pallid with
fright,’’ banging into each other and falling over. Some fainted while others laughed hysterically
Find a word in above that suggests a light quick touch.
