THE ST. KITES DISASTER.

The 81. kIIIS DISASTER.
We have been favoured with the
sight of a letter from the Revd. T. E.
Zippel, Superintendent Of the Mora
Wan Mission in St. Kits, under the
dates 18th and oath January, from
which we take the following painfully
interesting details of the sad catastro-
phe and the destruction which it has
wrought.
January Is.
"The flood came down, not at all
in the usual w~atercourses, but simply
as one great and widespread sheet,
from all sides, entirely overspreading
the whole valley, and rushing with
the greatest fury. Meeting with our
premises, it was divided, but then
went down wei the whole town,
uniting in a furious whirlpool below
us, and suddenly, without any means
of people saving themselves or any
thing, the houses thickly congregated
below us were swept off bodily with
their inhabitants. The night was
pitchdark and the rain pouring in tor
rents. None could render assistance;
the shrieks were ~heartrending. Small
cottages were instantly destroyed,
but large and substantial houses were
taken up bodily, and either broken to
pieces by being bumped and hurled
about, or carried out to sea. Some
were seen going down at an immense
speed with the people in them, and
their lamps burning. One went out
to sea OIL fire, the lamp having ex-
ploded. Large buildings have been
carried quite to another part of the
town and placed in the streets.
Where were streets is now packed
and blockaded with buildings and
ruins, and where houses were former
~ is now a bare level place. The
stronger houses, buildings, and stores
in the centre of the town are much
injured; all flied up with sand, mud
and drift furniture, goods, and car
riages destroyed, and greatly damag-
ed. The loss of town property is
estimated at 100000, while it is vet
impossible to state the number Of lives
lost. Early in the morning, when I
went out to look for some of our
people, there was not a vestige of
houses or people. The very places of
their houses could not be recognized.
But for a tree or a wall, it was diff
cult to know where in the town [ was.
1t was a heart rending sight to see the
dead bodies ~dreadfully mutilated
scattered all about among the debris,
and in the surrounding fields. The
wall of grief was piercing as one after
another of the dead bodies was found
and recognized.'
After speaking of the losses of
valued members Of the Morayian Con-
, 1880-02-14

The undersigned begs to acknow-
ledge the receipt Of the following
Amounts, which he received for the
sufferers Of the late flood in Basse-
terre, St. Kits, and RENTED this day
to the Revd. Mr.. Zippel, member Of
the Relief Committee.
From the Moravian Congregation
at West End-...---.$32.74
other inhabitants Of the
" town 1880 $3.50

Whilst thankfully acknowledging
this sum, and wishing the kind donors
the blessing Of Him, who loveth the
cheerful giver, the undersigned
embraces the opportunity to say that,
any further donations for the sufferers
in Basseterre will be thankfully
received, duly acknowledged and
promptly RENTED by him,

and filling up ravines made in the
town. The sea has receded about
one-eighth of a mile by the wash,
and is filled with floating ruins and
RATS. The bodies which will be-
found to-day will hardly be recog-
nizable, and are being inferred at
once in q large trench in the ceme-
terry. Some parts of the town are
filed with an intolerable stencil from
the decomposing bodies of men and
animals. For the last three nights
we have had about $50 Of the house
less, homeless, and clotheless in our
school-house. We are trying to
arrive at a correct knowledge of the
number of dead lost and missing, my
impression is that it will be between
200 and 800. Some Is or 80 bodies
have been recovered, and many more
have been seen floating. We are also
~endeayouring to get an estimate of the
losses and damages to the property of
survivors" "There is no communi-
cation between town and country
except ON horseback, nor will there
be for weeks and weeks"
January Oath.
"As time passes on we can more and
more realize the awful extent Of the
disastrous flood. Only to-day for the
first time have I been able to snatch
a moment to leave the town and ride
only to the first estate. The appear
nee of this, with whole fields entire
ly washed. away and filed up with
stones, rubbish, and huge boulders
brought down from the mountains,
the immense chasms and waite rcourses
that have been formed, tell at once
what an immense body OF water (and
with what power) smust have come
down on this doomed town, and ex-
plain how the town has been half
buried with mud, sand, and gravel.
| am told that what / have seen on
tnis neighbouring estate is as nothing
compared with other surrounding
lands and places. In the mountains
we can see the yawning caverns that
have been Quilted out of their sides;
and so from all sides, and from direc-
tons hitherto unknown for that, the
water has come upon us. In some
OF these places the water has been
running in a stream from loft. to 15ft.
high and 800 yards broad. In the
street Immediately behind us, the
famous College street, marks
left by the water show a height
of 10, II, and lift. The work of
emptying the lower stories Of chief
houses and stores is progressing: all
the cellars are filled with mud and
gravel, and the streets are raised far
above the level, in some cases SIT. or
eft. higher than formerly. Up to the
present time we are sure Of 242 dead
and missing: 80 bodies have been
recovered here, and II have hoated
to St. E~ustatius. The Government
has supplied the most distressed with
a liberal ration of food per day, and
and on the 21st we received four
large cases Of clothing for our suffer-
ers. These were a most acceptable
donation, worth at the present mo-
.ment three times their value in money.
It has been a great labour, but also q
great satisfaction to be able to distri-
