TO the Editor of the i" St. CrOix Avis"
Nv Dear Sir!

MY OedE 0H!
Your Correspondent "T. M. Krause" in
his description Of the Earthquake and
subsequent receding of the sea, gives an
idea Of the latter that rather serves 10
distract the mind than describe the Dhe-
nomenon. WhenI compare Mr.. Krause's
statement with that of one who, after he
had removed his wife and children to a
place of safety, returned 10 his house
cooHy, calmly, and deliberately, and took his
stand-expecting the recession Of the sea
ON an eminence in his yard that COM
mands a view Of the sea to some extent,
there is this important difference, viz.
that he saw no reef thrown up, nor did
the water appear to him "red and boiling
up as a pot" That this could have hap
pened and has happened in other places,
history relates. But it did not happen
here! The difference of perception be-
tween Mr.. K. and others, at the time the
phenomenon took place. | am quite
ready to admit, it was, no doubt, the result
ofan optical deception, on his part, created
by high nervous excitement brought on
when "the awful calamity that befelI Lis
bon flashed across his mind" 1t is well
known that the bed Of the sea, particularly
to the west of the island, is all sand, there
fore, TO account for what appeared as a

THE DAWN
OF A NEW ERA In ST. THOMAS.

The result Of the voting which took
place here on the 9th Instant for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the sentiments of all
classes Of the population, in regard to
the proposed cession Of this Island and
st. Johns to the United States Govern
ment, has been, I rejoice to say, eminent
ly satisfactory to every true friend of
liberty and progress amongst US.
This first appeal TO manhood suffrage
marks this new era in the annals of our
little Island, and serves as the deathkneII
to the mercantile oligarchy which I'M
happily has for SO many years shaped and
given complexion to the municipal ''and
general policy of our local Government.

out and formed a temporary embankment
to be dispersed again by the first under
current that followed.
have taken up these two points, name
ly, the perfect reef Mro0n up, aud the water
red and boiling up like a pot, with the in
tention of removing, if possible, the I'M
preston, already made, that there exists
any more Of reef nol0 in our roadstead
than before the recess of the water; and
that the red water, seen only by Mr.. X,
did not ONE from the crater Of Il volcano.
Ny informant describes the scene-as we'll
as i can remcmber-in this way = that the
sea, in the beginning, went out gradually 10
o short distance from the shore, then flow
ed in towards the land-wtnt out a second
time but beyond where the "Monongahe1a"
was lying at anchor, leaving just water
sufficient, it appeared, to prevent her
Keeling over. Outside Of her, the water
rose maitstically to some 30 feet or more,
heaped up like a chain of liquid noun
tains ready TO OyerWhtlm the seemingly
doomed "Monongahela" below, and after
wards 10 overflow the land beyond. But
soon. to the Joy of the brholder, was TO
be seen the ship rising by degrees, up,
uB5 up % AI5u az tV~~E IjiulbiJ SUI NUN
the rising grounds In the back part Of the
town-whlther the people had all retired
floating on an apparent level with the
tops Of the houses in the Bay-Street.
Her anchor being found to he a preventive
to her rising, the cable was immediately
paid out and went, during the lifting of
the ship, with such force and velocity
through the hawse-hole as TO draw out
the bolt that secured the end of ii TO the
keelson and, from the friction, TO create
a smoke that lasted some moments after.
In the meantime some Of her sails were
hoisted with the intention to gain an
offng if possible, but 10 no avail. How
ever, they did good in another way, for
they caused her to yeer off from coming
stem into the land and throw her head to-
the North. With this second flow she
came invent out when the sea retired
for the third time-came in with the flood
carried away all the Lumber sheds, and,
at last, settled herself down, with archi-
t%ectural precision, supported from falling
over, from an inclination Of about $50,
by a ledge of rock-head still to the north
--and describing q line gcometrically
parallel with the buildings opposite. In
lllS manner she Iel1dlncu WITHOUT sup
porters (shores) for four or five days,
when it was thought necessary TO pro-
vide against the probability Of her fetching
way during one or other of the severe
shocks of earthquake every day expert
enced and strong guys were extended
to the east to secure her, while shores
were securely placed under the inclined
side. Four men got drowned from the
ship in the attempt, it is said, to save
themselves by swimming. Three were
picked up the first day, and one on The
second day floating in the harbour. She
got one of her guns washed overheard,
but it was sought for and saved. Her
anchor and chain have been found but
not as yet taken up.
To return to Mr.. Krause's statement, 1
beg to remark that that gentleman has
been entirely imposed upon respecting
the boy he speaks of as being "saved Ivy
holding on to the tail of "a wild deer
, 1868-01-21

hood to gain sympathy and secure 10 him
self the reputation of being saved by a
miracle. The deer proved to be a poney
on which the chief boatswain of the ono
nongahela" was mounted. He had that
day taken a ride for pleasure along the
lake. This gentleman had seen, on his
way out, the boy in question with his
mother. When the sea was coming in he
rode back the same way. The boy, com
ing up to him, took hold of the poney's
tail and was taken across the lake, This
being the nearest way to gain the high
lands, where they arrived in safety. The
mother was drowned. Her body was
found three days after in a state of de-
composition. The Reverend Mr.. Dubois
went out and read the burial service over
the corpse, and it was buried some dis
lance to East of The spot where it was dis
covered, on account Of the rocky ground
nearby.
The large pieces of sulphur or bitumen
mentioned by Mr.. x. as having been picked
up by his children on the seashore with
pieces of stone adhered to them, is an
other grand error, as it has, since, been
positively proved that the sulphur had
been thrown out along with some sand
and dirt washed into Mrs. DoutG'S store
where there was a barrel containing that
same article. | myself inspected a piece
and found that what appeared 10 be stone
coated over with sulphur, was one and
the same substance, and, consequently
proved to be thoroughly ~inflamable. Per-
haps, as | continue, | may relate one or
two other wonders of the day that show
ed themselves in this town, which might
serve to prove that a frightened people are
always prepared with magoifying glasses
with which they take a microscopic view
of every thing; hence the misrepresenta-
tons are not so much to be wondered at.
Let those, therefore, that are able to COR
rect what is erroneous do 50, in order that
no incorrect idea of what we have expe-
rienced, be given to readers abroad.
In my next | shall endeavour to picture
out, as well as | can, the devastation
caused by the influx Of the tidaI-wave in
connection with the town.
