Volcanic Eruption.

The Batavia Hundlesblad of the 25th of
September publishes the following particu-
lars of volcanic outbreak at Ternate
On the afternoon of the 18th of August
volcanic earthquake was felt, of which the
exact direction was unknown. The Ternate
mountain had from nine A. NJ, caused dull
rumblng sound to be heard, varied at inter-
walls by loud reports, and began in the course
OF the day to cast out streams of lava. The
sky looked dark, and the whole country
round about was darkened by the down COM
ing smoke clouds. Luckily, southerly
wind sprung up, which gave another direc-
ton to the glowing lava streams flowing land
wards, and led the fire in seven currents to
the ravines.
The frightful natural phenomenon held on
during the night between the 9TH and Sth.
The inhabitants, thinking their island to be
doomed. could not sleep and passed the night
outside their houses, looking up anxiously at
the furious volcano which seemed to threaten
them all with certain destruction. At day
break the outbursts became worse still the
population began to fly to the island of Tidore
and ilalmahera. All the Tidorese of Ter
nate fled back to their island, accompanied
by thousands of other runaways The Chi
nese were the first to seek their safety in
flight. The casting out of fire and stones
held on for about twelve days, after which it
became less. The damage caused to houses
and plantations is enormous, but has not been
as yet accurately ascertained.
The Java Bode of the 10Th of September
states that this outburst was the most violent
known at Ternate within the memory of man.
The whole island shook from the underground
motion. There were, luckily, only some
slight earthquake shocks felt The Chinese,
in fleeing, followed the example set them by
the Europeans.
On the 2Sth Of August the Volcano was
again at rest at least only small cloud was
seen coming out of the crater.
