bounded by lines running from LIE
Precheur to the peak of Mount Pelee
thence curving around to LIE Carbet.
There are three well-marked zones,
First, a center of humiliation, in which
all life, vegetable and animal, was ut
terly destroyed; the greater northern
part of st. Pierre was in this zone.
Second, a zone of singing, blistertng
flame, which was also fatal to all lite,
killing all men and animals, burning
the leaves on the trees and scorching,
but not utterly destroying, the trees
themselves. Third, a larger, outer,
non-destructive zone Of ashes, wherein
some vegetation was injured.
THE focus of humiliation was the
new crater midway btween the sea and
the peak of Mount Pelee, where now

dense clouds forming a canopy over
the greater part Of the island lowered

MED by a neavy rainfall, broke over
St. Vincent and continued until yes
terday, causing mud streams in the
;WindWard district. Georgetown was
flooded The water pipes were dam
aged, several houses washed away and
two lives lost. The rainfall was so
heavy that it disturbed the bodies of
the buried victims of volcanic disas-

view.
During the storm the Soufriere
volcano appeared to give forth a

rising to a considerable height and
spreading over the neighborhoOd.
Roaring sounds from the mountain
caused apprehension of another erup-
ton. Severe lightning lasted all
night Saturday and Sunday Eight
inches of rain fell at Kingston be-
tween Saturday and Monday, the
heaviest downfall since the hurricane.
Further interesting incidents which
occurred during the recent eruption OF
the volcano are continually coming to
light. While all the residents of the
village of Morne Ronda were leaving
that place by boat, a man who had
declined to leave was seen running
up and down the shore, screaming
for help and saying the ground was
hot, the water boiling, and lava
coming down the mountain. 1t was
impossible to rescue the man and he
died a horrible death. A pathetic
scene was witnessed when a father
and mother holding each others
hands, the woman having an infant
at her breast and another child at
her feet, were all struck dead to-
gether. s..-.-~,m 80
