THE DEAD CITY OF ST. PIERRE, MARTINIQUE 



The town of St. Pierre was perhaps the most beautiful in the West Indies. The volcano 

 of Mont Pelee, which is seen in the background, and which is five miles away, suddenly 

 belched out deadly gases, dust, steam, and boiling mud, which overwhelmed the town and 

 completely destroyed it. The houses were reduced to ruins, and the people were killed by 

 the wave of hot gases sweeping down from the volcano.
