THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE,

For OCTOBER, 1812.

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

St. Vincent's, one of the Caribbee Islands, having induced much surprise and inquiry, I transmit to you an authentic detail of particulars, drawn up by a scientific observer on the Island, and printed there. I received it from a neighbour of mine. intimately connected with the West Indies; and some of your constant Readers are anxious to see it recorded in your valuable Journal, for the information of the publick, and of posterity.

It may not be unimportant to add that additional communications, received by my neighbour, report, that all the European Settlers on the Caribbce lauds of the Island, Windward or Eastward, in the vicinity of the Souffrier Mountain, suffered mich, most of the estates being covered 10 or 12 inches thick, with stones and dust. One gentleman, proprietor of an estate on the opposite or SouchWest side of the Island, happened to be absent at the time of the explosion. On his return, he found the buildings and the estate completely covered with the volcanic eruption of dust, stones, &c. and that 27 of his negroes were killed. Many of the estates on the land, however, will suffer but little. It is indeed thought, that they will benefit from the light coat of sand fallen upon them. In the course of a few days after the explosion, the rains that felt cleared the ground in many places, and vegetation began again to appear. The Rabacca river, that turned several mills, was completely dried up; but a hope was entertained that it would again run.

It is to be observed that the wind, between the Tropics, always blows to the Westward; and that Barbadoes, nevertheless, which is 70 miles due East of St. Vincent's, was actually

covered, two inches thick, with the volcanic dust. Day-light did not ap pear in Barbadoes, on the day after the explosion, till two o'clock in the afternoon; and the inhabitants were obliged to use candles in their habitations and streets, to the above period, What is still more extraordinary, but no less true, is, that vessels at sea, some 800, and others 500, miles to windward of St. Vincent's, had their decks covered with volcanic dust. the Islands of Grenada, Tobago, and Antigua, the garrisons were, at night, put under arms, in consequence of the thundering noise they heard, which they supposed to proceed from bostile fleeis in the neighbourhood.

In

How to account for such extraordinary phænomena, is far beyond my power. It shall, therefore, be left to those who investigate the works of God in the natural world; and I will only express a wish, that these awful occurrences may lead us seriously to contemplate THE POWER AND MAJES TY OF THE GREAT CREATOR, and to prepare for THAT TREMENDOUS DAY, when the waOLE" Earth swall tremble and quake, and the very foundation also of the hilis shake, and be removed;" when "the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the Elements shail melt with fervent heat; the Earth also, and the works that are therein, shall be burned up ;" and when there will be heard, 66 as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth: let us be glad, and rejoice, and give honour unto him."

[graphic]

Yours, &c.
