THE WEST INDIAN HURRICANE.-On
Saturday the committee, with the Lord
Mayor at their head, formed for raising
funds for the relief of the deplorable dis
tress caused by the disastrous hurricane
in the West Indies, held a meeting at the
Mansion-house. The Lord Mayor occu-
pied the chair, and there were present,
among others, Alderman Sir William
Rose, Alderman Finnis, Mr.. George Moi
fatt, MP, Mr.. Charles O%ppenheim ,(of
Old Broad-street), Captain Engledue, Mr..
Il. FL. Hartley, Mr.. John Simson, and MIR.
Gibbs. A deputation also attended from
Southampton, where many of the widows
and orphans and aged parents of the men
who persisted in the calamity reside, to
confer with the committee on the subject.
1t was composed of the Mayor of that
town (Alderman J. r. Stebbing), the Rev.
DR.. Cary, Captain Strut, and Mr.. R. S.
Pearce, the deputy town-clerk. The
Secretary (Mr. Gibbs reported that the
amount of tho subscriptions received at
the Mansion-house was 3,7OOl., which
was the result of four days work, The
committee having only been formed since
Tuesday last that money continued 10
come in on an average of nearly 10000.
a day that Messrs. Smith, Payne, and
Smith, the bankers, had that morning
sent a check for 1901, and that before the
close of the day the committee would
have upwards Of 4O0M. in hand. The
Mayor of Southampton reported that the
subscription there amounted to about
2,40Ot., and that the authorities there
were about to appeal to the mayors of all
the principal towns in the kingdom and
to the clergy 10 use their influence to aid
the fund, but that, before taking that
step, they were DESTROYS of agreeing upon
some common course of action with the
London Committee. The Lord Mayor said
he had reason to know that steps were
being taken, both at Lloyd's and among
the members of the Stock-Exchange, to
supplement the subscription, and that at
the close of the following week he had
no doubt the fund at the Mansion-house
would reach O,O0OL. In reply to o ques-
ton, the Mayor of Southampton said, at
a rough guess, there were probably about
900 or 900 persons in various parts Of
England, including widows and orphans
and MANNED and injured seamen, who
would be looking to the fund for relief.
Of these there were about 400 widows
and orphans in Southampton alone. The
actual numbers might probably exceed
those figures. The estimate included
the families of seamen who had persisted
not only those in the service of the
Royal Mail Steam Company, but in other
employments, and the donation of the
Queen was accompanied by a suggestion
that the fund now being raised at South
ampton should be for the relief of those

part of the United Kingdom they might
reside. The Lord Mayor stated that on
the first formation of the committee he
put himself in communication. especially
with regard to the deplorable distress
in the island of Tortola, with the Duke
of Buckingham, who explained the steps
he had taken as Colonial Minister for
relieving the immediate wants Of the dis
tressed people there-namely, by direct
ing by telegraph, Immediately on the re-
celpt Of the dispatches by The DOur0,
the Consul at Havannah to forward a sum
Of money, with provisions and materials.
to the island, and the Admiral on the
station at Halifax to proceed thither with
provisions in a ship of war. The Lord
Mayor had also reason to know that the
Government had decided on rebuilding
the churches and public ediices in the
island destroyed during the hurricane,
and the Cabinet Ministers, he said, had
subscribed between 700L. and SOOL. to the
Mansion-house Fund. All the money,
he added, which was sent there 10 him
was intended by the committee 10 form o
general fund for the relief of the distress
consequent upon the hurricane, and that
after the pressing necessities of the peo-
pie in Tortola had been relieved the COM
mittee would confer with the authorities
at Southampton as to the disposal Of the
balance, the local subscription there iii the
meantime, being, he supposed, available
towards supplying the Immediate wants
of tho sufferers In that town. So far as
Tortola was concerned, he wished the
money the committee was about to send
out there to be dispensed fairly among
the people in distress, so far as it would
90, regardless of race or creed. Mr.. Mof-
fatt, Mp, advised united action and exer-
ton between the Mansion-house Commit
tee and that at Southampton, as best cal
culated 10 promote the public subscrip-
ton and its equitable administration. AL
dcrman Finnis was of the same opinion,
and it being also the general feeling Of
the meeting, a circular was prepared and
adopted appealing for aid, under the Joint
auspices Of the Lord Mayors Committee
and that at Southampton, to the mayors.of
clergy and other ministers Of religion, to
use their influence for the same object with
their congregations. Following the ex-
ample set at Lloyd's, Alderman Fihnis
suggested a subscription at the CONNER
cial Sale-rooms in Mincing-lane, and that
all the principal bankers be requested to
receive subscriptions, which they were
invariably ready to do for any humane
object of public or national concern. On
the motion of the Lord Mayor, seconded
by Alderman Sir William Rose, a sum of
2.OO0L. was unanimously voted for the
relief of the distress in TortoIa, to be
mainly distributed among British sub
jects, and the committee commissioned
Mr.. John Simson, a young member of the
Bar, to proceed thither by the mail which
leaves to-day for that purpose. Captain
Engledue remarked that the Royal Mail
Steam Company has kindly offered Mr..
Simson a free passage out and home, and
that his Grace the Colonial Secretary
would commend him to the authoritiesin
the island for facilities in carrying out his
benevolent mission. The Mayor Of South

misses, wherein are his bakery and groce-
ry shop, were perfectly flooded barrels
of flour thrown here and there, a crate of
crockery broken to pieces, and his wife,
who happened to be surprised by the
flood in an clubhouse, narrowly escaped
drowning. To explain the force of this
invasion of the sea-, an iron truck-wheel
which was placed on the jetty, about 20
yards off, and weighing nearly a hundred
weight, was found on the floor of Mr..
Hayling on the morning after, evidently
having been washed in. Higherup, inflow
er Montserrat, they were in an awful state.
AL the wooden huts, in this the poorest
part of ST.. George, were knocked down,
upturned, broken up. Some of the bet
ter constructed dwellings were driven full
ly Is to 90 yards inward. The Jetty Of
The R. M. Company, now undergoing re-
pair, although repeatedly submerged,
proved what a structure it is, by standing
unarmed in the end. A large number of
pitch pine boards and planks, which were
upon it, were all washed away /; and we
are informed that only about one-half of
the quantity has been recovered. The
w~atering-place known as "The Spout"
within a few yards of which this fearful
volcanic eruption took place, exists no
the waves ;-the fact is, it looked TO US
as if it crumbled to pieces in a whirlpool.
The shipping have had 10 fill their casks
from the street-hydrants, though active
steps have been taken by the Superin-
tendent 10 raise the pipes, and put things
in proper order. On Tuesday, His Ex-
c~eIlency the Lieut.-Governor accompa-
MED by the Colonial Secretary, rode
over the scene of disaster, and enquired
into everything that came under their
notice; and the penal gang were sent to
assist in clearing and removing the debris.
Many q poor creature has been rendered
houseless and pennilcss-some having
had barely time to rush from their places
of abode. One woman with an infant was
washed into the sea, seated on the floor
ing of her W house, but was rescued
from a watery grave by a few seamen,
who saw their danger. If this disaster
had occurred during the night, it is un-
questionably that the loss of life would
have been great.
So far, it is fortunate we are, not greater
losers by this CONFUSION Of nature and
whilst We praise the Almighty Disposer
Of Events for his clemency towards US,
we cannot but make some historical re-
search into the subject. 1t perhaps is
not generally known that in the year l7O5,
when Father Labat, (of the Order of st.
Dominic) the celebrated traveller, visited
the West Indies, the spot whereon this
explosion or eruption took place ON Mon
day, was solid land, and a portion Of the
old town of St, George, first settled by
the French. "Tradition," as we have
written before "tells of the site of the
said town having been submerged by an
earthquake" Might not that earthquake
have followed a similar eruption to Tues
days. and caused the sinking of the old
town We see nothing improbable in
this. Humboldt considered our Grand
Etang as can ancient crater, filled with
water" and it is beyond the shadow of
doubt that the islands, of volcanic origin,
