TIDAL WAVE AND VOLCANO
1T OVERWHELMED THE SHIPPING AT
ST PIERRE-STORY OF AN
EYEWITNESS.

Ponte-a- -Pitre. Guadalupe, May 10-The Que
bee Line steamship Korona arrived at the island
of Dominica yesterday, bringing a number of
survivors from her sister ship, the Roraima.
The captain of the Korona says the eruption at
st. Pierre apparently from crater,
and that accompanying the eruption there
seemed to be a tidal wave. which overwhelmed
the shipping
The first mate of the Roraima thus describes
the disaster at St Pierre:
Between $50 and o'clock in the morning on
Thursday. without warming there came a sort
Of whirlwind of steam, boiling mud and fire,
which suddenly swept the city and the road
stead. There were some eighteen vessels an
chored in the harbor. including the Roraima. the
French sailing ship Tamaya. four larger sailing
ships and others. All of the vessels immediate
ly canted over and began to burn. The Tamaya
was bark from Nantes Captain Maurice, and
was on her way to Pointe-a Pitre All the boats
except the Rcraima sank instantly and at the
same moment"
Every house ashore utterly destroyed and
apparently buried under the ashes and burning
lava. An officer who sent ashore penetrated
but a short distance into the city. He found
only few walls standing. and the streets lit
orally paved with corpses. The Governor OF the
island, who had arrived only a few hours before
the catastrophe. killed. Both the English
and American consuls. with their families,
reported to have perishod II is certain that no
more than forty out of more than twenty-five
thousand could have escaped.
The cruiser Suchet was here yesterday buying
provisions for the survivors IN the outlying dis
tricts. She sailed for Fort de France last night
with large quantity Of stores. which I'M
mediatey put under military guard. Negroes
1ockng in vast numbers into Fort de France
from the surrounding country, demanding food.
A telegram from Fort de France says that hot
mud and oinders have been falling all night
throughout the island and still continue doing
great damage. and that when the final reports
are received it will be found that many people
have been killed injured in other parts Of
Martinique.
