ment from Caracas that our consul at
Barcelona has informed him by wire
that Barcelona has been taken by the
revolutionists; that they are sacking
the town and that in his judgment the
protection of a war vessel should be
Immediately afforded him. Mr.. Bowen
says he has cabled the Cincinnati to
return without delay. He notes that
the Topeka is at Porto Cabello and
the Marietta up the Orinoco river.
After a conference between the state
and navy department officials in re-
gard to Minister Bowen's dispatch the
following instructions were prepared
for transmission to the commander OF
the Topeka at Porto Cabello:

Before the instructions were sent
the Cincinnati reported her arrival at
Porto Cabello, whereupon the instruc-
lions were modified so as to direct that
one of the ships proceed Immediately
to Barcelona. This leaves it discre-
tionary with Captain Mclean of the
Cincinnati, the senior officer present,
to send the Topeka or go himself with

and leave the same night. In the
harbor news was received of the st.
Pierre disaster, and, lying at anchor,
was all that was left of the Roddam.
All St. Lucia was in mourning and
the people were so distracted by the
news from the neighboring island that
it was not until May IL that Capt.
Cantell could obtain coal and pass on
his journey. st. Pierre was passed
at a distance of about four miles and
all on board studied the land with
glasses.
"The weather was clear and we had
a fine view," said the captain, but
the old lines of st. Pierre were not
recognizable Everything was mass
of blue lava, and the formation of
the land itself seemed to have
changed. When we were about eight
miles off the northern end of the is
land Mont Pelee began to belch a
second time. Clouds of smoke and
lava shot into the air and spread over
all the sea, darkening the sun. Our
decks in a few minutes were COW
cred with a substance that looked like
sand dyed brown, which smelled like
PHOSPHORUS.
Partial darkness came upon us,
and everybody on board the ship was
badly frightened. After the stories

st. Vincent, which has suffered from
the eruption of its own soufriere vol
cano, is one of the most beautiful and
picturesque islands in the British
West Indian group. 1t has an area of
131 square miles and has been de-
scribed as one of the flashing Jewels
that lie like necklace around the
Caribbean sea. The last British CEN
sus credited it with population of
$4,000, of whom a large majority are
negroes engaged in the cultivation of
sugar cane, which is the principal
crop. Two hundred years ago it was
the home of the Carib Indians, who
were induced by the French to join
in revolution against England. They
were crushed and thousands were
transported. Hundreds, rather than
submit, threw themselves into the
sea. A few descendants of these orig
inal owners of the island still exist

her smokestacks were gone. When
the Waterman dug into the lava he
found here and there fragments of
human remains. All that was left or
the ship was her hull, and that, being

at the Hotel Felite, we called on him.

story of his escape. was unprepared
for the terrible sight which greeted
my eyes when | entered the room.
Capt. Freeman's face was burned
to the color of teak wood and large
patches of skin and flesh were burned
from his bones, here and there. Both
his hands were swathed in bandages.
His hair and mustache were gone, his
eyes were tied open and he was in
great pain. When / told him who
was he talked great deal, to relieve
himself, he said, of his suffering.
He said the Roddam had been in
St. Pierre only an hour when the erup-
ton occurred. He was talking to an
agent in boat alongside when big
black squat approached the ship
from the island. 1t was like a black
wall, travelled fast and was accom-
panied by tidal wave and deafea-
ing roar. The sun disappeared I'M
mediately.
Capt Freeman said that he shouted
to everybody to stand clear. An in
slant later the air was filed with flame
and falling patches of fire. The ship
was Immediately ablaze from end to
end, and the crew and laborers aboard
began to rush about, frantic with pain.
AS nearly as he could remember there
were forty-two persons aboard the
ship, only six of whom survived. The
ship keeled over when the tidal wave
hit her and nearly capsized Then
she righted and the falling shower of
fire continued.
Capt. Freeman ran into the chart
room, but was driven out again by
flames that came in at the port hole.
Then he rushed to the engine room

the open sea, and with the help of two
sailors, two engineers and the boat
swain, succeeded in taking his boat to
ST. Lucia.
During the run out of the harbor
the chief engineer died a horrible
death. He escaped the first shock,
started the engines and, not finding
his men below went on deck to look
for them AS he thrust his head out
of the hatch a mass of lava fell upon
him, burning one side of his face COM
pletely off.
Capt. Freeman's performance per-
haps never had parallel in stories
of the sea" continued Capt Cantell.
when the Roddam arrived at st.
Lucia, the brave man refused all medi-
cal treatment until the others were
cared for. He will live, the doctors

l Feel So Tired.

How often do we hear this and similar
expressions from tired, overworked women
and weary men, who do not know where to
find relief. For that intense WEAKNESS, so
common and so discouraging, we earnestly
recommend Vogeler's Curative Compound.
1t is not stimulant but true blood purifier
and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure,
which will gradually build up all the weak
organs in such a way as to be lasting
benefit. A fair trial of free sample bottle
which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd, of Baltimore,
Nd, will send you for the asking, will con-
vince anyone of its wonderful medicinal
value. 1t will drive all impurities from The
blood, give nerve mental and bodily strength
and vigour and make the sufferer wholly a
new being. 1t creates an appetite, makes one
sleep and makes the weak strong DO not
forget that Vogeler's Curative Compound
is made from the formula of London
physician, who has given years of study to
same. Sample bottle free from St. Jacobs

miles west Of Barbados and between
st. Lucia and the Grenadines. From
north to south stretches a ridge Of
high, wooded hills, extending to the
sea on either side. The Soufriere.
which Is now in eruption, Is in the
northwest. 1t towers 5000 feet above
the sea. Its crater is three miles In
circumference and 500 feet deep.
From the summit the view on all sides
was superb. Eastward over the new
crater-formed in 1812-the Atlantic
was visible through the hill ranges;
westward to the blue waters of the
Caribbean, and on the margin of the
bay the quaint and curious town Of
Chateau Belair. Travellers who have
stood on the highest point describe
the view of Morne Garou as specta-
Gle of awe-inspiring grandeur, with
the vast forest clambering over lofty
peak and deep-hewn glen right to the
northern verge, where, twenty miles
off. the island dips under the blue
waves.
The climate of st. Vincent is unus-
ually humid, the average rainfall be-
ing seven feet annually. But the NOR
tally rate is low and the inhabitants
enjoy excellent health. The soil in
the valleys is a rich loan. well calcu-
lated for the growing of cotton and
cocoa palms, as well as sugar cane.
The average temperature is IS de-
grees Fahrenheit in the high lands.
In the low lands it hovers between 80
and 50. The island has been noted
for the beauty Of the plumage of its
birds and for it's rare specimens Of
insect life.
1t Is the home of the giant freely,
whose phosphorescent brilliancy is so
great that one fly will shed sufficient
light by which to read a book or
newspaper. A dozen of these insects
will light up a large room, and the
Caribs. in the olden days, used them
for purposes of illumination. Unlike
the birds of the tropics farther south,
the birds of the forests of st. Vincent
are not only brilliantly feathered, but

eliminates in the vast crater of Morne
y Garou, which in 1872 was the scene
of tremendous eruption. Billions of
tons of rock and earth were hurled
high into the air-part, as molten
lava, flowed down into the sea; part,
shivered into thin dust, was carried
high up into the clouds. For three
days the awful commissions of nature
continued. The dust from the crater
so obscured the rays of the sun and
brought on darkness so terrifying
that the few survivors believed that
the world had come to an end. The

configuration of the island was
changed. The eastern end sank into
the sea, and where it stood there is
now a great depth of water. The vol

1882, and then the warning rumble
was heard again; but 1t was a false
alarm, and the terrible scenes of the
early part of the century were not re-
