HEARD IN ST. VINCENT.
Noise of Mont PelCe Bombard-
ment Reaches Kingston.

Kingston, st. Vincent, Saturday, June
During the great eruption of Mont
Pelee, Island of Martinique, yesterday
morning. the detonations were heard in
the neighboring islands and heavy
clouds of smoke issued simultaneously
from Soufriere volcano, on this island,
which alarmed the inhabitants.
The Island of St Lucia was obscured
by dust to a distance of three miles and
a steamship experienced difficulty in
finding the harbor of Castries.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Fri
day pitch darkness prevailed here.
The three Americans, Prof. Jaeger
the geologist Of Harvard university; DR..
Hovey, assistant curator of the Museum
of Natural History, New York, and Geo.
G. Curtis, who ascended the Soufriere,
May 81, made another ascent on Thurs
day. They entered a. dense, dusty cloud
which impeded their progress as they
made their way up the trail, around the
awful cliffs, with extraordinary courage
and perseverance, and once more reach
ed the edge of the crater on the east
side, reaching an altitude of $500 feet
above the sea, carrying with them a
barometer They heard water boiling
and spattering in the depths of the era
ter, but nothing could be seen through
the fog, though the party waited a con-
siderable time. The ascent occupied four
hours. The return of settlers TO the
devastated area has been discouraged
by Prof. Jaeger who is of the opinion
that the crater IS continuing actively
and may emit poisonous gases at any
moment without warning.
