ONE VICTIM OF VESUWUS.
An American who Lost His Life on the
Emrmimg Mnmminin LiftN Years Ago.


Burning Mountain fifty Years Ago.
There came near being a tragedy on
Mount Nesuvius recently, when sew
eral ladies' ventured too near the era
ter and were all but swept away by
streams of molten lava which poured
from the mountain. This fact recalls
the sad death nearly fifty years ago OF
Mr.. Charles Carroll Bayard of Della
ware, who had many relatives in
Maryland and was widely known in
that state.
The accident which cost Mr.. BayOrd
his life happened i'll 1850. He was an
officer IN the navy and, arriving at
Naples, Il party Of naval officers and
others was made up to visit the crater
of Vesuvius, which was then semi
active
The party had reached the summit
of the mountain when suddenly there
was a shower of red hot stones thrown
high in the air. All hands took to
their heels and a few moments later
discovered that Mr.. Bayard was lying
on the ground behind them. One of
the heavy hot stones had struck him
on the arm, making frightful wound.
/ He was taken back to Naples and
/ given the teuderest nursing, but he
/ died, and his body is buried there,
his tomb having been suitably marked

A strange thing about the accident

/ stopped and declared that he would

companions demonstrated with him
and tried to convince him that his pre-
sentiment was bat foolish fancy, and
he finally consented to accompany the
party.
When he was hurt none of his
friends had the slightest idea that he
was fatally injured and believed that
he would be well IN few weeks. Not
