is now known that the lives of all in
st. Pierre would have been saved had
il not been for the action of Governor
Mouttet. He had been given official
warning of the coming cataclysm. That
warning reached him several days be-
fore the disaster of May s. He chose
to disregard IT, and even went so far
as to order that the warning should be
kept from the public.
Professor Landes of the University
OF st. Pierre had been instructed by
Governor Mouttet to make an iEvesti-
cation Of Mont Pelee. At the iDminent
risk of his life, Landes went 10 the
crater of the volcano. He found that
the forces at work were such as "a
make an explosion certain. Hurrying
back to st. Pierre he sent a cipher dis
patch to the Governor, in which he
gave warning that the volcano would
not hold itself in check much longer
He even went so far as to predict the
total destruction OF the city Of St
Pierre not later than May s.
Instead OF acting on the advice OF
Landes. Mouttet went to St. Pierre
and tried to allay the fears o. its IN
habtants. He ordered Landes to say
nothing about the conclusion he hat
reached. Mouttet said that if st. Pierre
was destroyed he would remain tc
share the fate of its inhabitants. Ian
des acquiesced, saying, he too, would re
main. Both lost their lives on May
s, though Mouttet was trying to cs
cape when 1t was too late. The cipher
message of warning sent by Lande,
is still in existence, but 1t Is kept Sc
