TIE POUYER--QUERTIER.
The Splendid Work of This Vessel In Aiding
the Sufferers

Fort De France, Island of Martinique
May 13.--Strange to relate, in view OF
the number of inhabitants of St Pierre
who were swept to death by the vol
canic waves from Mount Pelee on Thurs
day last, very few corpses have been
found by those who are engaged in the
work OF ORIGINATING the dead bodies. This
is due to the fact that the most popu-
lous quarters of the town are buried
under a thick layer of lava which APP
parently entirely consumed the bodies of
the victims.
Public interest centers in the stories of
the survivors and in the efforts being
made TO succor the refugees. A woman
named Laurent, who was employed as a
servant at st. Pierre, in the household OF
M. Gabriel, and who was among those
taken to the hospital in this city, in
describing her experience, said that on
the day of the terrible disaster she
heard a loud report and thereupon faint
ed When she regained her senses, a
few hours later, she was horribly
burned, and CHANGING around, she saw
two members of the Gabriel family still
alive. but they died before assistance
could reach them. Mile Laurent. al
though she lived for some time after be-
ing taken to the hospital and was con-
scious while under the care of the physi-
clans. died without being able to impart
any additional information concerning
the catastrophe. The work of succoring
the refugees continues necessarily.
When the cable repair ship Pouyer-
Quertier. Captain Thiron, started on her
mission of mercy. she had to pass
through clouds of burning cinders at the
risk of catching fire in order to reach the
terror stricken people ashore. But she
succeeded in bringing to this port 4o6
people, mainly former resident of the
village OF LePrecheur This was on
Saturday last. Since then the steamer,
as the result of the other daring trips,
has succeeded in bringing many other
persons to Fort de France. On SUM
day she rescued 923 persons. and pilot
ed the French cruiser Suchet and the
Danish cruiser Valkvrien who took on
beard fifteen hundred persons.
The Pouycr-Quertier has distributed
to the sufferers large quantities of bis
cults, milk, wine and cheese.
The specie found in the vaults of the
Bank of Martinique at ST.. Pierre
amounting to two million francs, has
been brought safely here The specie
in the public treasury at st. Pierre is
still buried under q layer of lava about
six to eight meters thick.
The path of the volcanic torrent which
swept over St. Pierre is marked out in
strange manner The vicinity of the
shore, Wher, vessels anchored, was
swept by a whirlwird of volcanic gas
which ripped. tore ard shattered every
thing in its passage, but left few traces
of cinders behind. On the other hand,
the fort, center and adjoining parts of
ST. Pierre are buried under Il thick bed
OF cinGers which consumed everything
beneath it.
