Martinique by the relief steamer Ken
aeth. The destruction there is appalling.
The streets are two feet deep in ashes
and cinders. which cover thousands of
dead bodies. scorched black and shiny,
as if they had been plunged into boiling
pitch. Many of the dead were never
touched by the volcanic fire. and some of
the houses and woodwork inside show no
signst burning.
At Moudlage, in the southwestern por
ton of st. Pierre, the town hall is still
standing as high as the first story while
at the fort in the northwestern part of
St Pierre the most massive stone work
IS calcined
The church towers, built by the
Jesuits two centuries ago of Cyclopean
mason work. are now like a huge heap of
old metal.
Soldiers are guarding property from
prowling ghouls. who are robbing the
dead. They meet with severe punish
ment when caught.
The stencil throughout ST. Pierre is
terribly offensive. The streets are still
obstructed by huge piles of debris and
lead bodies The work of clearing the
thoroughfares will necessitate the en-
ployment of large numbers of mon for
many months.
The surviving inhabitants are trying to
cross from st. Pierre TO the Island of
Dominica in boats. No drowning casual
ties are reported
Assistance is constantly arriving at
Fort de France from oil the neighboring
