direction OF St Pierre.
The cloud swept over the city with
terrifying swiftness, turning bright
daylight into the darkness of night,
with hardly q moments warning
From this cloud a rain of rocks
poured upon the town and threw the
entire population into the widest
panic.
The sea suddenly swept back in
great wave for a distance of between
fifty and sixty feet and vessels fas
tened to the wharves were set crash
ing against each other with great
force Twice the great wave swept in
and out from the shore, and finally
the waters settled down to their nor

AS quickly as possible in the con
fusion the government authorities and
the mayor of the city, realizing what
need there was, began to organize
some system for carrying help to those
known to be in dire distress
The French cruiser Suchet, which
happened to be lying in the harbor,
became instantly alive with activity
It was made ready for sea as quickly
possible and started away at full
speed up along the coast in the diTec-
ton of St Pierre and the great col
unan of smoke and fire There were
several boats that had arrived at Fort
de France that same morning, and
they, too, made instant preparations
to return.
Troops and provisions were hurried
aboard of them, and they started away
in the wake of the Suchet- They had
not been gone over two hours when
| they returned, bringing back the It'd
| ings that ST. Pierre was utterly de
| strOyed and that the entire seashore
| from the suburb of LIE Corbet as far
| as the Village of lie Precheur was on
| fire, and that it was impossible to land
| at any point on account of the intense
| heat.
Along the shore the spectacle was
| appalling 1t looked though the
| whole of the northern part of the
| island was one mass of flame
The cruiser. Suchet got back to For
| de France some time after the othe1
| boats which had followed in the eHor
to reach the scene Of the disaster. Oh
| board the Suchet were thirty sur
vivors, who were picked up in the 81
Pierre suburb of LIE COrbet- All o
them were frightfully burned ant
wounded, and nine of them died OF

Curious1y enough, the face and
hands of the clock on the hospital
were not destroyed, and they furnish
an important record in the history of
this terrible catastrophe The hands
of the clock had stopped at precisely
ten minutes to 8, showing that it was
at that moment that the city was over
whelmed and all these thousands of
people within it, and in its envirOns,
were destroyed
The work of exploring the ruins for
the treasure buried beneath them was
going on at the same time with the
incineration of the dead. The vaults
of the bank of Martinique were opened
and all the securities, notes and cash
were found intact They were all Sc

THE WORLDS GREATEST DISASTERS

Eartbouakes. Floods and Battles That |
Have Slain Their Thousands
This is the third time the island of
Martinique has suffered disasters of
volcanic origin. In 1867 there was a
great earthquake which cost the lives
of more than 1000 persons That was
the greatest disaster in the history OF
the island previous to this now report
ed. There was an earthquake in 1889
which destroyed nearly half of Port
Royal, the present capital of the is
land, and killed 700 persons The
damage resulting from that shock ex-
tended all over the island
History's pages are full of disasters
which have befallen the human race,
but no calamity of its kind in recent
years can even approximate the ter
rib1e loss of life which has made nota-
BILE the destruction of ST. Pierre on
the island of Martinique OF events
which have shocked the world by the
enormity of the destruction which fol
lowed in their wake, none but the bat
tie Of Gettysburg can approach the
recent disaster for loss of life. In
stances where whole towns and COM
munities have been wiped out are
comp aratively few, but all have been
terrific in their consequences. St Pi-
ere has been no exception
Among the ca1amities which are
most notable, the destruction of Pom
pei and Herculaneum in the year 70
there is complete account extant-
STRANGELY enough, the destruction of
these cities is the nearest approach
in history to the disaster which befen
the Inflated ST. Pierre The work of
Vesuvius on this occasion was as slow
as it was complete. Herculaneum
was literally swept from the earth by
| a stream of molten lava, while Pom
| pei was suffocated by the cinders and
! ashes The eruption lasted for days
and covered the two cities to depth
| of from eighteen to twenty feet, and
| so changed the topography of the
| country that it was centuries before
| topographers were able to locate the
| lost cities. The loss of life on this
occasion was never known, but it must
have reached far into the thousands
/ Not until 1855 was the world again
| shocked by a catastrophe of similar
| proportions, although there were many
| throughout Italy, Sicily, South Amer
| lea and the Orient where the loss of
| life has been estimated at much high
| er figures, which were impossible of
| verifcation- The great earthquake
| and tidal wave of Lisbon in 1855 was
| one of the most far-reaching and de-
| structive phenomena of nature which
| has come down in history
Tt was festa1 day in the city and
| all Portugal was there Late in the
| afternoon a giant wave swept over the
| doomed city, and in eight minutes
| when the wave had receded. it carried
with it SO, 900 people into the sea- The
survivors crowded the stone wharves
along the water front, many only to
