The formation of sulphurated hydro gen gas doubtless caused thousands to die of suffocation before' the fire reached them. 1 This would explain the condir tion of the bodies which are covered with superficial swellings and burns caused by the great cloud of fire which followed the. .first gust of gas from the volcano. Certain bodies have wounds made by the awful hail of rocks. An inhabitant of Morne Rouge, seven kilometers from St. Pierre, says all about him when the explosion of the volcano came there was a terrible suc tion of air which seemed to drag him irresistably toward the volcano. The entire country all around St. Pierre is turned into a chaotic waste. Near St. Pierre a few buildings were found untouched but the inmates were dead. They were suffocated, not dis figured, and each one was easily iden tified. The body of a man was found lying by a carriage, to which a pair of dead horses was attacHed,' The man was still holding the refns.as though about to enter the carriage.
