a triangular area between the parade
gardens. the sea, Duke Street and Prin-
cess street The parish church forms
the apex OF this triangle. which COM
prises about one-thirtieth part of the town.
The wharves burned are George and
Branday and Malabre, Haggart Lyons
solomon's de Mercado. Henriqucs. and
one. not both of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company's wharves.
The burned area Is being cleared slow
". owing to the indisposition of the
population TO labor. at double the usual
wages. There are few bodies still
covered with ruins, The burials to noon
this day comprise 343. The persons adj
nlitted to hospital in KINGSTON total $40,
excluding some sixty cases sent to Span
ish Town from Kingston for treatment.
All Camped Out.
THE population generally is encamped
on the parade grounds. the racecourse
and the open spaces. 1t is reluctant to
return TO its ruined houses during the fine
weather.
THE usual provision shops are in the
burned area, and there Is, consequently
difficulty in buying provisions. am ar
ranging for sales temporarily and for
the transfer OF persons TO other parishes.
