N 0 human power could restore the vanished island landscapes nor bring back life to the charred cinders of what were once strong men and noble women. All that the benevolent world could do was to send quick relief to the starving fugitives and give fitting sepulture to the bodies of the dead, while offering up fervent prayers to the Almighty to stay the pent-up powers of the earth and save man from a renewal of such death-dealing calamities as that which belel the fair city of the tropic isles.
