AAwAllS LAVA LAKES.
Some Results of the VolauiC Eruptions
in the Sandwich Islands.


Hawaiian Gazette: The molten lava is
visible IN three different places, all Of
which ! visited. Two of the three places
are quite difficult of access, the approach
being a circuitous route up and down
over masses of loose rocks, and pasSable
only in the DAYTIME These two places
are quite near each other, IN the neigh
borhoud of what was formerly the new
lake, though some little distance south.
They can hardly be called lakes.
should call them wells. One OF
these is where liquid lava was
first seen after its first disappear
ance in March This is somewhat irreg-
ular in shape, being, perhaps, thirty feet
wide and sixty to seventy-five feet long
and not less than 100 feet in depth. To
obtain "A view of the bottom one must 60
to the very verge of the well and look
over, and this can bC done with safety at
only one point Immediately beneath this
point at the bottom of the well, but
where it could not be seen without too
great "A risk there was an immense noise
and evidence of intense activity. Over the
portion OF the bottom of the well that
was visible the lava was hardened, eX-
cept in one place, where il could be seen
rs il was puticd ont and thrown up lit
tie distance every few seconds.
The other well was nearly circular in
shape, perhaps thirty feet in diameter
and 100 feet deep This could be ap-
pruached only at one point and this
noiut was on the lceward side, so that the
fumes of sulphur dioXlde would allow
one to remain there only q few seconds
at a time At the bottom OF the well a
partial cone was formed, ? perhaps ten
feet across, and in this lava was boiling
with intense violence, now and then
throwing up q spray OF lava quite nun
dred feet to the mouth OF the well and al
most into the face OF one standing on the
edge and looking over.
The third place where the liquid lava
could be seen was in the lake below the
west wall 1t is possible to get down to
the edge OF this lake and get specimens,
but II is an extremely hazardous under
taking There are or were two lakes
here but they seem to have merged into
each other the activity being confined TO
the part last formed. Small lava flows
We're constantly breaking out, and III the
evening there was a general breaking up
OF about one-third the surface. THIS
lasted only one or two minutes, but was
followed by quite extensive lava flows.
] found no fountains and no cones here.
The best point for observing
this lake is $40 or 1000 feet distant from
il. One can get on the edge
of the perpendicular wall Immediately
above il 1j0 or 300 feet, but this is unsafe,
as landslides are constantly taking place
at all points. When | visited this lake
two days later its surface had evidently
risen, and ii was more active than when
j saw it before. There were signs of
activity in other places, but no fire could
be seen About the middle of July some
lava appeared in Halemaumau, but it has
not continued in activity. The activity
of Kilauea is evidently increasing, and
while the sight nj present IS well worth
seeing there is promise OF even much
moro In future.
