Mont Pelee has been in constant
eruption since August IS. There was
an enormous fall of ashes from the
volcano the night of the 25th. There
was very severe eruption the night
of the 2Sth, when the volcano rum
blings were heard at great distance.
The mountain burned fiercely that
night, and out at sea passing vessels
were covered with ashes. The night
of the 30th there were three separate
eruptions.
1t is impossible to approach the
ruined town of ST. Pierre from the sea.
The people of the village of lie Carbet,
on the coast, are terror-stricken and
flying to the interior. Hot water is
pouring down on Lorrain and Basse
Pointe, villages to the northeast of
the crater. Horrible detonations were
heard, the ground rocked and quaked
and articles on tables were thrown to
the floor. The governor of Martinique
has ordered every available boat to
remove people from the coast villages
to Fort de France.

by pitch black cloud of dust. This
cloud was in the center of most mag
nificent electric effects, the flashes of
light SURPRISING the most elaborate
fireworks. Flames and flashes, contin-
ued to burst from the cloud until
nearly midnight. Columns of flame
shot out of the crater of Mont Pelee
to explode about the cloud in showers
of balls of golden fire, which fell
through the darkness in myriads of
sparks. Three large anreoles were
seen in the sky over the opening of
the crater.
A tidal wave rushed upon Fort de
France. and the terrified inha bitants
fed in large numbers to the interior
The wave was not severe and did but
slight damage.
At midnight of the 3Oth Mont Pelee
was quiet: shortly after this hour
there came another shower of ashes.
