Story
A plain backdrop depicted the city of Saint-Pierre with Pele towering above it. In the foreground was the sea (water tank). One man, hiding behind the mountain, burned sulfur. Another, with the help of a huge shield, sent smoke to the decoration (imitation of lava). The third person scattered sawdust (ash). The fourth man shook the water tank, imitating the waves and a sudden strong tide.
