Correspondents Description 81
Scenes on st. Vincent Island.

LONDON, May 22.-The correspondent of
the Daily Mail at Kingstown. Island of st.
Vincent, describes in a dispatch the condi-
ton of that island He says that 60 per
cent. of the persons injured cannot recover.
The whole island resembles a desert and
the graves of human beings and the re-
mains of animals are seen on every side.
Owing TO the difficulty of breathing the
correspondent could not get near La
Souffriere Everywhere on the island the
rivers have been stopped by the dust or
lava, and in one valley the dust lies sixty
feet deep. Most of the deaths on ST Vim
cent were caused by a blast of heated. sui
pnurouS air. The authorities have ascer-
tanned, continues the correspondent. that
the rumor that another crater had been
formed by the eruption of last Monday is
untrue. The sun was obscured all day
Monday and the temperature rose TO 103
degrees Fahrenheit In the shade.
A heavy dust fell that day and terrified
the crowds of islanders who were praying
along the seashore. 1t seems, says the
correspondent. that the dense air is prob
ably caused by the volcanic dust from the
eruption of Sunday being blown back on
the island by the trade winds. This eX
PLANTATION has relieved the anxiety.
