The Destruction of St. Pierre. chapter I. The Lesser Antilles are inconspicuous on the map of the West Indies. Stretching between Porto Rico and the northeastern coast of South America in a line that curves like the crescent of the new moon, they are so overshadowed by Cuba, Hayti, and Porto Rico as to attract little or no attention in a hasty scrutiny of a chart of the Islands of the Caribbean. They have played no great part in the world's history, but what little prominence they have had has been the prominence of misfortune. They have been the scenes of bloody conflicts between Spanish, English, and French colonists. They have been pillaged by pirates, devastated by floods and hurricanes, shaken by earthquakes.

The term, Unhappy Isles, is one of the appellations by which they are best known to the world at large. But all the catastrophes that the years have heaped upon the Lesser Antilles have been paled into insignificance by the stupendous disaster that visited the Island of Martinique on the beautiful May morning of 1902. Nature gave but little warning of her gigantic outburst. Mont Pelee, rising to a height of nearly five thousand feet on the northwestern coast of Martinique, looked as peaceful and serene a few days before it belched forth its blast of death as it had looked for years.
