May 22.-Another great eruption of the
Soufriere volcano occurred on Sunday
night. Throughout Sunday the ad-
Joining districts trembled. and some
of the shocks were felt here. Smoke
issued from the craters and lssures Of

throughout the Island OF ST. Vincent
was exceedingly hot While the wor-
shippers we're returning from church
at $50 p. m, an alarming luminous
cloud suddenly ascended many miles
high. in the north of the island. and
drifted sluggishly to the northeast. In
cessant lightning fell on the mountain
and one severe flash seemed to strike
about three miles from Kingstown
The thunderous rumblings in the era
ters lasted for two hours, and then di-
minished, until they became mere muir
murings. The remainder of the night
was clear. Ashes fell from 10 O'Clock
until midnight.

was called Mast swamp" the Rev.

1912 the town was made station on
a regular circuit. The meetings were
held in the schoolhouse or at the old

bad. and in a pine grove at the south

days. The first church was built at
