The short story talks about earthquake and conflagration in San Francisco. Upon
receipt of the first news of the earthquake, Collier’s (who has Collier’s the
National Weekly) telegraphed to Mr. Jack London-who lives forty miles from San
Francisco-requesting him to go to the scene of disaster and write the story of
what he saw. The earthquake shooks down in San Francisco. Not just that, the
conflagration that followed burned up the city. The modern imperial city has
been so completely destroyed. Nothing remains of it. Within minutes of the
earthquake the fires began. Within an hour a huge tower of smoke caused
by the fires could be seen a hundred miles away. And for three days and
nights this huge fire moved in the sky, reddening the sun, darkening the day
and filling the land with smoke.
