Killed.
The volcano of Monte Pelee
broke out again last Saturday
night and probably together with
the tidal wave killed 200 people.
The detonations were terrific,
probably the loudest of all that
have occurred and the illumina
tions surpassed the most elabo
rate pyrotechnics. Columns of
flame shot out and-exploded myr
iads of balls of golden fire.
The" scene whs awe-inspiring
and to many overwhelmingly
terrifying.
