Two days elapsed before there were

1t Is estimated that the sea has en-
croached from 10 feet to two miles along
the coast near Georgetown and that
section on the north of the island has

irritating to throats and eyes and Is
causing the merchants to put all their
drygoods under cover.
The inhabitants (meaning the white
population) are naturally anxious to
know whether the repose of the volcano
Is permanent, or whether il is the lull
which usually precedes greater activity.
The people, anticipating danger of fur
