fto tn: -,runners the points in the Bel- 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- ing only ruins behind them.

In order to gain timelfor an ofder-

I was lucky enough to eecupe by the river to the north- in a. motor- bont, The bombardment had then ceased, though many buildings were Still blazing and while the little boat sped down the Scbelilt one could imagine the procession of thc Kaiser's troops already goosestep- ping their way through the well-nigh deserted streets.

Those forty hours of shattering

It was Wednesday night that the shells began to fall into the city. From then onward they averag- ed about ten n inin\ite,.und most of them came from the lnrgcsi. guns

"LES MISER.-\BLliS."

In many groups were to be seen

Iold, old people, grandfathers and _grandmothers of a family, and these, in their shaking frailty and terror, ,were the more pitiable obiects in the great gathering of stricken towns- .foll-i. This clinging together of famil- 'ies was one of the most .aflecting isigbts I witnessed, und I have not ,the slightest doubt that in thc mud rush for refuge beyond the iiorders of their native land mnny fnmily groups of this sort completely perished. | A11 any und throughout the nh,-ht ithese pitialilc scenes continued, and “hen I went down to the quayside ‘early Thursday, when thc dawn was throwing n wan light over this part, of the world, I found again a great host. oi' citizens awaiting their '-chance of flight.

Alas for »thcir hopes! The two boats did not |niii, and when they reuiizeii this I

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 like ,, bit of GustaVe~Dore’s idea oi, 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

After watching for some consider-

able time the panorama of the de- struct on that lay unrolled all a- round me. I cam: down from my post of observation on the cathedral roof, and at the very# moment I reached the street a twenty-eight. centimetre shell struck ii confection- er’s shop between thc Place Verte and the Place Meir. lt was one of

~ ithosc high explosive shells, and the

shop, n wooden structure, immediat- ely burst into flames. The city by this time was almost deserted, and no attempt .was made to extinguish the fires tliatihnd broken out all over the southern district. _Iucleed, there was no means of dealing with them.

As far hack us Tuesday in lust

week the water supply from the re- servoir ten miles outside the city was cut. od, and as th;s was flie city's main source of supply-indeed, practicaily its only source-brent ap- prehension was felt. The reservoir is just tcbind Fort Waelhem and the German shells had struck lt, doing great mischief. it left Antwerp with- out any regular flow of water, and the inhabitants hu`d to do their licst with nrtei-:inn wells. Great efforts were made by the Belginns from time to time to repair tlie reservoir, but it was always thwarted by iieriiiun shell fire. The health of the city was thereby meanced, for there was dang- er of nn epidemic. ° '-
