the island caused great deal of unfavorable
comment. and the bankers, especially, were
prevented from opening their safes. AS a
result | could not get my letter of credit
cashed and had to remain in the place until
Tuesday of the next week, when | left for
Cuba.
In good many instances the loss of life
was due to persons rushing into the streets
and being caught between falling walls. Mr.:
Nathan, rich Londoner, was getting shaved
and Jumped from the chair and was killed be-
fore he reached the edge of the Pavement.
His partner, Mr.. Sherlock. was in store and
was also killed before he reached the edge of
a pavement. With all the money that Nathan
had he was placed on piece of corrugated
iron and lowered into the ground without any
casket.
At another place l saw the crisp remains of
man lying on the top of a pile of bricks:
Not church or public building remained
standing, and the most remarkable thing saw
was the statue of Victoria, that had been turned
completely around on its base.
After remaining in Cuba for time we left
for Florida, and, after five weeks there, came
home.

MARROW ESCAPE DURING EARTH
QUAKE.
Dr.. Lewis Describes Experience in
jamaica.

The Baltimore American of March 10 says:
Having passed through two narrowing ex-
perences-that of spending night on yes
sci going to pieces on the rocks and later to
he on an island visited by an earthquake, DR..
Thomas H. Lewis, president of Western Md.
College, and Mrs. Lewis returned TO this city
Wednesday night. They are the guests of his
daughter Mrs H. M. Veasey, 3OO7 Walbrook
avenue.
In returning to this city DR.. Lewis concludes
a trip of nine months. Last June, with his
daughters, he left for Europe and visited
France, Switzerland, Palestine and Egypt,
Mrs. Lewis Together they left for Kingston,
jamaica, on the steamship Princessin Victoria
Louisine, which foundered on a reef within
100 yards of the shore. The account of their
experiences is best told by DR.. Lewis himself
He says:
We left on the Princessin Victoria Louisine,
which was the finest vessel afloat. Contrary
to all rules the captain did not take a pilot
aboard. About $50 O'Clock at night he
started to take his vessel up the channel to
wait until morning before going into the har
Dor.
Suddenly we hit upon a reef, and few
moments later we learned that the captain
had committed suicide in his cabin. There
was a great deal of confusion due to the fact
that there was no head. The mate did not
seem to know what TO do and allowed the ves-
sci to rock to and fro. A few futile attempts
were made to put out an anchor from the
stern. We remained on the vessel until 10. 80
O'Clock in the morning, when we were taken
off in ifeboats.
We made our headquarters at Halfway
Tree Inn, which was the Oldest place on the
island, built back in the sixteenth century.
1t was Is minute trip from Kingston proper
The inn was completely demolished About
g. 80 on the afternoon of the earthquake we
were preparing to take bath. My wife was
lying across the foot of the bed. AS soon as
l felt the first shock | knew it was quake.
We fed from the house in our dishabilles, and
it was lucky, for the bed on which my wife
was resting was covered with bricks aud plas
ter from a brick partition. The real quake
did not last more than 35 seconds. First there
came rocking, then spinning, followed by
twisting sensation, and believe that it was
the latter that did the damage.
After the quake there was no place to live
ill., but as the weather was warm it was not Il
very great hardship, and the people suffered
| only from the sunshine by day and the dew by
night. There was very little scarcity of food.
The fire must nave broken out almost stimuli
taneously. Ii burned fiercely Monday night.
but early Tuesday morning the wind carried
it out to the harbor and it burned out.
We fortunately secured quarters. At our
place there was little hut of two rooms used
by the servants. They became the rooms of
the guests, one for the ladies and the other
for gentlemen. The latter was we'll filled.
