stampede toward the coast. The confusion
was terrible. Blacks and whites, natives and
English, all made for the nearest point OF

houses and public edifices, carrying with ii
roofs, timbers and branches of trees. Land
slips added to the terror of the scene. Sugar
cane was leveled to the ground or torn up in
masses, deep gulleys were washed in the
roads, sugar-h houses and dwelhng-places were
borne bodily away, AMI the waters rushed
headlong to the sea with their freight Of
drowned cattle and struggling human beings.
