tee in tremendous and sudden explosions in
fnILely louder than those Of the heaviest ar
tillery, accompanied by the eruption to the
height of between one hundred and TWO hum
dred feet OF immense volleys ofglowing stones
and red-hot cinders, which sIread into mag
niGcent bouquets of great briancy. Suoter-
ranean rumblings sometimes preceded the
explosions, which shook the mountain TO its
base. From the second throat flowed CO.
pious, compressed volume OF smoke and flame,
as from furnace, and with no noise except
that of the constant roaring of the flames.
The third throat threw out volumes Of black
smoke and great bouquets OF glowing cinders,
but with much less violence than ii her of the
other two, and was accompanied with great
blowing noise, very much like that OF an as
cendins rocket OF vast proportions. During
all this time the flow Ut lava was great and
continuous.
