The first eruption from Mount PeIes
came Saturday, accompanied by series
of earthquake shocks. The cable lines
were destroyed early in the week, but the
inhabitants of neighboring islands heard
the reverberations from frequent explo-
sions. Still the inha bitants of ST. Pierre
took no alarm. and only a few of the
white people of means left the city for
safer places down the coast.
Comes Without Warming.
The eliminating disaster seems to have
come without warning. There was an
explosion, which threw an immense vol
ume Of molten rock. dust. ashes and
black smoke thousands of feet into the
air. Then. almost instantly. the rain of
hre descended upon the city. The show
er of lava and ashes extended for fivc
miles out to sea and presumably as far
inland. Ships in the harbor We're tossed
and pitched about by the upheaval accom-
panying the explosion, and most %: them
were shattered into wreckage Those
not destroyed in this manner were almost
instantly set on fire by the burning lava,
from which there was no escape
Sailors on the different vessels. crazed
by fear and suffering. ieaped into the
sea in a vain endeavor to escape the pitt
less rain of fire; but of all that took
refuge in the water only thirty were
picked up by the boats lowered by tine
cruiser Suchet, which arrived after the
explosion of the volcano
From the number of dead bodies seen
on the wharves, which completely encir-
Gle the water front of ST. Pierre, it is
believed that when the rain of fire be-
gan TO descend upon the city from Mount
Pelee the inhabitants rushed to the
shore. hoping TO escape death by taking
TO the sea. But everything in the shape
of boat must have been consumed in
the flames, and the unfortunate people
perished on the spot they had sought for
refuge.
The water in ST. Pierre harbor is so
deep that ocean vessels of the deepest
draft are able to discharge cargoes di-
rectly on the wharves. This being the
case. many who sought refuge in the
water are believed to have been drown
ed.
There is no cable communication with
st. Pierre. The repair steamers sent to
restore the line which was broken earlier
in the week We're destroyed in the gen
eral catastrophe.
