!Mount Pelee!
Mount Pelee is a very spectacular volcano in our opinion it has an effect on every
one, why you may ask? I say this because there was only three people that survived
this volcanic eruption! Thats awful 25,o25 people died because of Mount Pelee!
And only three people survived! when you think about it everyone every day thinks
about those people that died! I'm pretty sure if i had to do a project on Mount Pelee
and all the people that died i would think about it every day!

All these pictures show all the remainders of bodies
and casts that people were in!
If you look at all of the pictures you
will see that its very interesting
In one of the pictures there is a woman being burnt by the hot lava.
In the next picture there is a whole bunch of human bodies that didin't
have enough time to get away from the lava so the people died and got samented
and is now a place for people to go and look at all the remainders!

The quotes from the servivors

THE SHOE MAKER,

"I felt a terrible wind blowing, the earth began to tremble, and the sky suddenly became dark. I turned to go into the house, with great difficultuy climbed the three or four steps that separated me from my room, and felt my arms and legs burning, also my body. I dropped upon a table. At this moment four others sought refuge in my room, crying and writhing with pain, although their garmets showed no sign of having been touched by flame. At the end of 10 minutes one of these, the young Delavaud girl, aged about 10 years, fell dead; the others left. I got up and went to another room, where I found the father Delavaud, still clothed and lying on the bed, dead. He was purple and inflated, but the clothing was intact. Crazed and almost overcome, I threw myself on a bed, inert and awaiting death. My senses returned to me in perhaps an hour, when I beheld the roof burning. With sufficient strength left, my legs bleeding and covered with burns, I ran to Fonds-Sait-Denis, six kilometers from St. Pierre."

THE LITTLE GIRL,

"Just as I got to the main street I saw this boiling stuff burst from the top of the Corkscrew and run down the side of the hill. It followed the road first, but then as the stream got bigger, it ate up the houses on both sides of the road. Then I saw that a boiling red river was coming from another part of the hill and cuttung off the escape of the people who were running from their houses."
"But before I got there I looked back, and the whole side of the mountain which was near the town seemed to open and boil down on the screaming people. I was burned a good deal by the stones and ashes that came flying about the boat, but I got to the cave."


The prisoner had no quotes.

Why Didn't The People of The City St. Pierre Leave When The Volcano Was About To Erupt

You are probably wondering why the citizes of St. Pierre did not leave for another town when hey heard that Mount Pelee was about to erupt. The reason why they didn't leave was because they thought that they were a a safe enogh distance to not be harmed by the volcanos ash, heat, and lava. They never knew that the lava would reach their small city of 30,000. Therefore, the city's whole population was wiped out with the acception of two peple. A shoe maker and a prisoner.
