Further details of Martinique horror recorded by survivors
The Etona reached New York with shreds of Mont Pelee ash and reports from the Roddam and its captain Capt. Freeman. Survivors recount a second eruption at Morne Garou creating a sea of lava and darkness, the Roddam burning at St Pierre, and Capt. Freeman aiding his crew amid flames. The tale includes vivid scenes from St Lucia, Barbudos, and St Vincent, with grim injuries and acts of heroism.
