DREADFUL EARTHQUAKE.
IaCo Thousand Lives Lost =!
The N. Y. Commercial Adv. publishes
the following letter. dated
PolNT Az PETRE, Guadalupe. }
February H. lS4S


February II, l84S.
.Youswall probably hear Of the great
calamity which mas befalien this city. be-
fore this reaches you. Nevertheless
vii! give you brief account of one of
the most destructive earthquakes which
we have On record.
1t commenced on the morning of the
9th, ten minutes before eleven, with a
tremendous rafting noise. In few Sc
conds the earth began to rock to and fro;
having, at the same time, an upward and
downward motion. Then followed the
tumbling of the buildings all over the CT
ty-comlng down with mighty crash !;
resembling no noise [ ever heard. In "a
bout thirty minutes the city was in ruins.
In few hours after, fires broke ont
in various parts of the city; and, before
the morning Of another day. had swept
entirely over it, destroying what remain
after the earthquake. Sn that nothing is
to be seen but the broken walls, and a
few old wooden buildings in the outskits
of the city. 1t was called by many the
handsomest city in the West Ind. Islands.
1t contained population of Is. 600; and
the buildings were of stone, three and
four stories high.
But the most awful thing to be desert
bed is the loss of human lives, and the
poor human creatures who were taken
from the ruins, mutllated in every posi-
BILE shape; which mot attempt. About
1000 were killed, and 1900 wounded );
800 of the latter suffering amputation of
one or more of their limbs. The public
square was literally filled with tthe dy-
ing; every vessel in the harbor has more
o. less Of them on board. The contents
of the apothecaries' shops were destroyed
and the physicians lost most of their in
struments in their houses, so that it was
many days before some could be reach
ed for amputation. The Governor-Gen-
eral from Basseterre arrived here the
| next day, took up French ship, put as
many of the wounded on board as could
be moved, and sent them to the hospital
at Basseterre.
The Meule, a small place fifteen miles
| from this, was laid in ruins, and many
lives lost. Basseterre suffered somewhat,
but lost no lives. The probability is,
| that Antigua, Montserfat, St. Kits, and
Nevis have suffered, as the earthquake
took northwest direction.
