1902 Sept 3 / (+) / (evening) / Such phe as I have supposed between volc of this earth and “somewhere else” but terrestrial. In “Mont Pelée, by Prof. Angelo Heilprin. At Martinique he saw “far out to sea, southward, vivid flashes of lightning, were illuminating a corner of the heavens”—as evening advanced the flashes became more brilliant, remaining localized. It was the direction of Soufriere and Heilprin supposed an eruption these. Pelée was answering the distant flashes—Souf. 90 miles away. “To about each twelve or fifteen Pelée responded with one blinding flash, so intense as to seem to open the heavens.” / Now the astonishing thing is that not only electric exchanges but morning of the 4th the volcanic cloud from S came 90 miles directly to Pelée. “Shortly after five o'clock of the morning, the edge of a black cloud could be plainly seen advancing upon Martinique from the south. It was the ash cloud of the Soufrière, which slowly but surely crawled in upon us. By seven o'clock it had passed over Fort-de-France, and clung so over Mont Pelée that the frightened inhabitants of the city thought that their own mountain had been in eruption.” / Evidently clouds had not gone out 90 miles in all directions. Heilprin, p. 256, says that drifting of this was northward. [VIII: 1376.1 to 1376.6. Heilprin, Angelo. Mont Pelée and the Tragedy of Martinique. Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott, 1903, 251-253 & 256.]

At nine a.m. the sky to the northward assumed a purple, torrid appearance, greatly resembling a vast town at a distance on fire, accompanied by a tremulous motion resembling the Aurora Borealis; the horrid glare of this sky made the surrounding darkness more awfully dreadful; the sky to the southward, in the direction towards Bridgetown, had occasionally the same colour, only the tinge much fainter, attended with no motion....” See: 1812 May 1, (I: 383, 384, 386, & 387).]

rod of fire, in appearance about 4 ft. long and 2 ft. thick, descended This struck a tree on the opposite

side of the stream. The bark was stripped from the trunk like a peeled banana, and one large branch was

snapped off. After the bolt struck, a flame shot from the tree like a Roman candle or flowerpot, and

in a few moments this was followed by a volume of smoke which lasted for half an hour. The episode

somewhat scared the onlookers. The thunder was the loudest that they had ever heard, and shook the

whole surroundings."]
