We left st, Thomas the afternoon Of
May 8: The next day, when seventy miles
became troublesome. We approached the
island and discovered st. Pierre to be burn
ing; We made signals to the shore, but
for, the night and witnessed a remarkable
spectacle of, fire and lightning. Ashes fell
and detonations were heard.
In ,thei"morning we saw the French
cruiser Suchet and went nearer the shore.
The ashes became dense as we approached,
and many dead bodies were floating on the
sea. They were burnt and swollen. As
we approached st. Pierre we saw the town
the cruiser Suchet and the cable repair
ship Pouyer-Quertier and together went
toward Le Precheure The rain of ashes
was heavy and shrouded the Suchet. Soon
the atmosphere cleared up and we ran
close. to lie Precheur. and then to Hameau
were put overheard and the rescue of people
from the shore commenced at IL o'clock in
the, morning. We were all covered with
gray ashes, our eyes were weeping, and the
heat was Intolerable. Several big pans on
board our ship were filled with cooked food
rounded by a, crowd OF chatterins natives.
The negroes were an saved by 4 o'clock
IN the AFTERNOON except a rev VINO refused
to leave the land. At this hour the Suchet
signaicd, The operation Is over, thank
you" The 'Suchet then steamed away in
the direction of Fort de France, but our
boats had not yet all returned TO the ship.
We were still waiting for the last one
when there was a Tremendous report from
the crater of Mount Peles, quickly followed
by a second report. These explosions
caused great excitement on shore, and our
last boat returned to us bringing the re-
mainder of. the negroes, including those
who had previously refused to leave. They
had been frightened by the reports, and,

we saved 500 people from the north side
where, on account of the wind. there were
not so many ashess We proceeded to Fort
de France and landed there the people we
had rescued, as well as some provisions.
Al the latter port a government official
came on board Valkyrien and thanked US
all for what we had done.

death while driving his engine to the IRE.
The streets In The ~stockyards proper are

at top speed when one OF. the reins broke.
His horses plunged towards the crowd Of
people on the side OF the street. Maloy,
seeing that somebody would be badly in
tured unless his team was checked, sprang
from his seat to the back of one of the
horses and grasped the team by the bits,
turning them against a brick building. The
horses struck the wall with terrific force
and Maloy was caught between the wall
and one Of the horses. He was fearfully
crushed.
