About two hundred corpses have been found

AS a result of the measures taken by the au-
thorities access to st. Pierre is easier. The
ruins of the town have ceased smoking. Two
thousand corpses have been found i'm a carbon

II has been learned that the rain of fire
ceased at distance of two hundred yards from
the village OF lie Carbet.
Talk with survivors Of the disaster confirms
the previous statements to the SuddenneSs
of the catastrophe. 1t is thought that an enOr-
NOUS quantity of gas was liberated. producing
great atmospheric pressure, which overwhelmed
everything before it, The gases absorbed by
the bodies of the victims caused them TO burst
and the fire coming afterward carbonized them
This was followed by a rain of stones which en-
veloped the town. but there was not as has
been said, any fow Of incandescent lava.
4 gardener at the village of Morne- Rouge

at the moment of the disaster seven luminous
points on Mont Pelee. He says he had the
impression of being violently drawn toward the
volcano by powerful current OF air Then the
mountain opened according to the description
of the gardener. and flung tornadOes of fire at
