was told that the Germans used cap-

gian defense _ at which they should
aim. ’
Ilie German guns, too, were con-
.cealed with such cleverness that their
lposition could not be detected by
lthe Belgians. Against such methods
,and against .the terrible power-of the
:German guns the Belgian artillery
seemed quite ineffective. The firing
came to nn end at 9.30 o'clock Fri-
day. and the garrison escaped, leav-

In order to gain timelfor an ofder-

"LES MISER.-\BLliS."
In many groups were to be seen

_grandmothers of a family, and these,
in their shaking frailty and terror,
,were the more pitiable obiects in the
great gathering of stricken towns-

for Ostend, and Ostend looked across
to England, where their hopes lie.
There were full forty thousand of

all of them were inspired hy,the sure
and certain hope that they would be
among the lucky ones who would get
on hoard one of the bouts. Alas for
»thcir hopes! The two boats did not

and as there was no one to arrlngp
the systematic embsrkaqon, h who
struggle followed among the frantic
P°0Pl° to obtain Plices on the_tugs.
Men. wioms-n“g,nd children fought des-
perately with each other to get on
b08l‘d. Bild in that moment of su-
preme anguish human nature was
seen in one of its worst moods. But
who can blamethese stricken people?
Shells that were destroying their
hmnes and giving their beloved town
to names were screaming over their
heads. Their trade was not war-
they were merchants, shop-keepers,
comfortable citizens of more than
middle age, and .there were many ~wo-
men and children among them, and
this horror had come upon them in
5, more appaling shape than it has
visited any civilized conmiuulty in
modern times. ‘
I now return ‘to the events of Thurs-
day, At 2.30 o'elock2in the afternoon
u'-hen the bombardment had nlready
lasted over twelve hours. through \ths
courtesy of a Belgian officer I was
able to ascend to the roof of the
_cathedral and from that point of
vantage I looked down upon the
scene in the city.
FLAMES ADD T0 HORROWS.
All the southern portion of Ant-
werp appearcd to bc a desolate ruin.
Whole streets \-.were ablaze and flames
were rising in the sir to n height of
twenty and thirty feet. In another
direction I could -just discern t-hrouigh
rr-y glasscs` dimly in the distance the
instruments of culture of the attack-
ing German forces, ruthlessly pound-l
ing at the city and creeping nearer'
to it in the dark. At that moment I
should say the enemy’s front imc]
\-:ns within four miles of Antwerp. l
Froiii my elevated position I had
an excellent view also of the greati
oil tanks on the opposite side of the
Scheldt. They had been set on nrc
by four bombs from a German Tnube
and n huge tbiclf. volume of black
smoke was ascending 200 feet into
the uir. The oil had been lnirnini;
furiously for several hours, and the
whole neighborhood was enveloped in
In ull directions were fire and
flame :ind oil-laden smoke. It was

the Infernal Regions. From time to
time great tongues of flame shot out
of the tanks, and in this way the
flames greedily licked the sides of
other tanks, the confiagratlon spread-
ing. How long this particular fire
raged I cannot say, for Iisafvii neither
the hcginning nor thc end of it, hut
while I watched its progress it seem-
cd to represent the limit of what a
