HEROIC DEED,

HOW THE "RODDAM" FLED FROM ST..

PIERRE,

The following interesting article from Port Castries, t. Lucia, dated 10th May, appears in an exchange:-

On the 3rd inst. Mont Peled began to throw out dense clouds of smoke, and. at midnight flames, the appearance of which was acconi panied by a rumbling noise, lighted the sky over an immense area, causing widespread -terror. On the 4th, hot ashes covered the whole district of St. Pierre an inch thick, and made Mant Pelee invisible. A. noon on the following day a stream of burning lava rushed down the mountain side from a height of 4,410 feet follow- ing the dry bed of a turrant and reaching the sea, five miles from mountain, in three minutes. It swept from its path plantations, buildings, factories, cattle, and human beings over a breadth of half a mile.

The large Guerin sugar factory, one of the finest in the island, was completely engulfed by the lava a all chimney alone remaining visible. It is estimated that 50 peros perished there, including the owner's son. As the lava rushed down, the sea receded 300ft. on the west coast, returning with greater strength in big waves which covered the whole of the front; but did little damage.

Terrific detonations followed at short irregular intervals, and continued through the night. In the intense darkness the electric lights failed, but the town was lit up by lurid Anshes from the mountain. The inhabitants rushed to the hills in their night clothes, screaming, shouting, and wailing in the madness of terror.

The Plissono family, escaped to St. Lucia in a small steamer, and 35 persons, mostly women and children, also arrived at Port Castries in the forenoon of the 6th st. and furnished the above details. The men remained at Martinique

THE "RODDAM'S" ESCAPE. On the afternoon of the 6th telegraphic com:

Tung Fuchsiang first gained notoriety by his

FEROCITY AS BRIGAND,

when he was head and centre of one of those maruding bands which years ago małe inland reaches of the great rivers unsafe to all but the poorest travellers. In due course he was cap- tured and condemned to death by he tube- and water method. The victim of this inhuman punishment is completely encased in rubber piping, the lower end of which is closed, and boiling, water poured in through the upper month. As the scalding liquid cools the tube is emptied from the bottom, and the process repeated until the unhappy sufferer is released by death. Tung, grievously hurt, but still

igg, was rescued during the course of this toure, and resumed his robber trade with added brutalities. So grently was his prestige enhanced by this escape that the Government, convinced of his ability as a leader of men, determined to disarm him, by employing his services for the State. Accordingly Tung and his brigands were, in true Gilbertian style, enrolled as regular troops, and, on the outbreak of the Japanese war, chtrusted with the defence of Peking itself. Although the opportunity for a pitched battle with the invaders either. never

Several men of the Roddam's crew were quickly scorched to death. By almost superhuman efforts the cable was slipped, and steam being still up the vessel backed out from the shore, and we arrived here nine hour later.

DEAD AND DYING,

Ten of the Reddauts, men were lying dead, having been burned out of all boinan sem- blance, among the black cinders which covered the deck to a depth of 6in. Two more have since died. The burning cinders continued to fall upon the ship for six miles, after she was. under way. The captain, although burned all over the body, escaped with his life, as did also the agent. The latter, however, is badly scorched. Mr. Plissono is believed here to be the sole survivor of those who remained at St.

Pierro after the first indications of the out- break, since the town and all the shipping were utterly destroyed..

The Grappler west first, then the Roralnia Capt. Maggah, of the latter, waved his hand in.. farewell to the Roddain as his vessel sank with a terrific explosion.

SEA FRONT BLAZING. The Royal Mail steamer Fak, when five miles off artinique at ten o'clock on the evening of the 9th, whistled and sent up rockets, but received no answer. The whole sea front was blazing for miles. A boat was sent ashore, but the crew could not land on account of the terrific heat, which was accompanied by loud explosions, Not a living soul appeared, though the boat waited two hours. Fire and ashes fell all over the steamer

In the afternoon a French coasting steamer arrived here from Fort de France asking for assistance, and reporting that all the country was burat up, that stock was dying, and all the plantations charred, while the country people were flocking into the towns and a famine was feared. The steamer carrying supplies of food was sent back to Martinique,

After the relief of Peking Tung gathered together as much gold as he could amass and fled to a Buddhist monastery in the interior, thence escaping to Ching Chi-pu whither Prince Tuan repaired when the Allied insisted on his punish meat. A

:,,

Here the two arch-agitators of China are gathering immense stores of grain and muni- tons of war, and to them flock all the desperate chameters and the disaffected of the population. Native advices report that the town, which is capable of accommodating 250,000 defenders, is splendidly fortified, consisting in fact of a series of strongholds. It is not too much to say that Ching Chi-pu as the residence of Tuan and Tung Fuchsiang and their army constitutes a standing, menace to the safety of foreigners and the maintenance of order in China, the more so in that with the pro-Russian all-powerful Dowager both the Prince and the General are in as high favour now as they ever were.---Pall Mall Ganette.

THE WORD OF HONOUR.

The men who do as they say ; the things that prove, to be what they were said to be, how cheering it is to come upon them. We all hate to be deceived; especially when the decep tion is intentional. But all men are not llars,

For this assurance is given on what it has done in the past in countless cases, on its record. It is only recom- mended to accomplish what it was made to accomplish...
