The predawn earthquake set off the chain of events that included a moderate, locally generated tsunami and a volcanic eruption in the Kilauea caldera.

It was the tsunami that caused damage to boats in Hilo and on the Kona side. BIG ISLAND Harbormaster Dennis E. Ruthrauff said fishing charter vessels were damaged on the leeward side of the Island. The 38-foot Kaiwa sank in Keauhou Bay. Two persons suffered minor injuries when a jeep ran off the road at Hale Pohaku in the Saddle area.

Koe Sakuda, 50, of Pepeekeo was hurt and his car demolished when he ran into a landslide between Pepeekeo and Honomu on the Belt Highway. Police and firemen responded rapidly to the emergency. Off-duty police officers reported to their stations after the quake even before they could be called, Deputy Chief Guy Paul said. ALTHOUGH the shorelines of the Island were hit hardest, heavy damage also was logged near Kilauea Volcano's summit. Hundreds of giant earth cracks broke up highways and obliterated ancient trails there.

In Hilo, the roads were damaged, water mains broke, electric and telephone service was disrupted, and the bayfront area along with Hotel Row was evacuated for several hours. No firm estimate of damage was See QUAKE on Page A4 Hi lee Businesses damaged in downtown Hilo; homes damaged, streets cracked in other Hilo areas. KAIMU Park campground at Natopet at Ha boa campground. houses pier ..1 Killed by the quake and the events that followed was Hilo surgeon James A. Mitchel, victim of a freak aftereffect of the shock.

Dr. Mitchel, a scout leader, was with his charges at Halape Beach, a camping area within Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park about 12 miles southwest of Kalapana, when the beach itself sank and the ocean swept in over the group. Another man was missing from there. Nineteen of the 36 hikers in the area boy scouts and a Sierra Club group were injured and were removed by helicopter to Kilauea Military Camp, then by ambulance to Hilo Hospital. The missing man.was Michael "Mickey" Cruz, 26, of Mountain View.

NO PART of the Big Island was by the disaster. Hilo suffered extensive damage in its downtown district. Its small fishing fleet was decimated when the 5- foot tsunami, or tidal wave, caused a 10-foot swell as it thundered up Wailoa River before dawn. In Kona's Keauhou area, boats and homes were damaged. Ka'u lost its only tourist facility when the wave generated by the quake roared through the center of Punaluu Village Restaurant, gutting the $1 million facility.

Five homes nearby were leveled and cars were washed inland. The worst damage was reserved for the Volcano area. There, a path of devastation was left through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The park was essentially closed down. Ha tape, a beautiful remote sandy beach, literally disappeared as the entire coastline subsided.

Tumbling rocks after the first earthquake, and the sudden drop after the second, injured many of the hikers in the area and killed Dr. Mitchel. HERMAN WIRZ, director of the Honolulu Observatory for Earthquake and Tsunami Information, said both of yesterday's Big Island quakes were shallow, meaning their epicenters were only 18 to 43 miles below the surface. Wirz said "deep" earthquakes may have points of energy release far down as 430' miles. 4 VOLCANO I's 7A PUNA 1 Punaluu on the all cmst: ng Punaluu Village Restaurant damaged; Old wasfed away; pavilions damaged; pat dedroyed at rear Hon" po I'll 4 KEA --7--7 olf osie One One of I I Road damage in Kilauea volcano area (top) and one of several Puna wave (bottom).

Timothy said the group was awakened by the first quake at about 3:30 a.m. He said they "jumped up, but it was nothing and we went back to sleep." Then at 4:30, he said, the groutict started sliding and rolling. The ground was still trembling, he said, when the first wave came crashing over them. TIMOTHY SAID they saw wave come toward them.

"It was the biggest wave I've ever seen," he said. The boys dived back into their and the wave was over them. Timothy was pushed back through the wall and into the bushes. "I was stuck in the bushes, with my head down and under water," he recalled.

Some of the Haiape campers, feeling the second quake, moved closer to the ocean to get away from the. action on land. But the ocean proved to be far more dangerous; at least four towering waves swept over the campers. TIMOTHY TWIGG-SMITH, 13, who was one of six boy scouts camping there, said two waves swept over their group and he "felt like I was drowning." Timothy, a student at Hilo Intermediate School, said five of the scouts were camping at Boulder Bay, about a quarter of a mile from the Halape shelter where four adult leaders including Dr. James A.
