clouds forming a canopy over the
greater part of the island lowered and
a severe thunder storm, accompanied
by a heavy rainfall, broke over st.
Vincent and continued until Monday,
causing the mud streams in the Wind
ward district Of Georgetown to be
flooded. The water pipes were dam
aged, several houses were washed
away and two lives were lost. The
rainfall was so heavy that it disturbed
the bodies of the buried victims of the
volcanic disaster, and corpses, with
putrid flesh hanging to the bones,
were exposed to view.
During the rain storm the Soufriere
volcano appeared to give forth dense
clouds of vapor and steam, rising to a
considerable height and spreading
over the neighborhood. Roaring sounds
from the mountain also caused appre-
hensica OF another eruption.
Further interesting incidents that Oc-
Cured during the recent eruption of
the volcano are continually coming TO
light. While all the residents of the
village Of MOrne Ronde were leaving
that place by boat, a man who had de-
clined to leave was seen running up
and down the shore, screaming for
help, and saying that the ground was
hot, that the water was boiling and
that lava was coming down the noun
tain. II was impossible to rescue the
man, and he died a horrible death
A pathetic scene was witnessed.
when a father and mother. holding
each others hands, the woman having
an infant at her breast, and with an
other child at her feet, were all struck
dead together.
The United States steamer Dixie has
done splendid work here, and has rem
dered great assistance to the govern
ment. The Americans evince the great
est interest in the island generally.
