You have probably heard of the eruption OF
Atna which is going l left Palermo Satur-
day, and came here to see it. We left here
about o'clock (six of US Engish) Saturday
afternoon, and drove to Nicolosi, which we
reached about o'clock. and got mules and went
mp to the scene. There were crowds of people
going there, but we took different road and
went up much higher than the general crowd.
We had guide with US, and after about three
hours climbing, got to within couple of
miles of the crater itself.
1t is at the side of Etna, you know, not near
the top, that this eruption has broken out and
we GOT on to bit of high ground overlooking
the whole scene. II was still daylight when we
got up there, so that we saw the whole thing by
daylight We then settled ourselves down to
dinner, which we had brought with US from
Cs.tania, and. of course it was soon dark, and
here we were comfortably feeding before the
most glorious aud indescrbable sight ever saw
in my life 1t is perfectly impossible to de-
scribe 1t, as no one can have any conception OF
what it is until he has seen it, and, also, until
he sees it from where we did, which was on
high ground overlooking nearly the whole of it.
At the top is this enormous crater throwing out
flames and throwing up stones some hundreds of
yards, with q continual roar like any number of
battles going on. and just below is another
mouth, from which the lava comes travelling at
a tremendous pace. 1t divides into several
streams and follows the valleys
Now imagine from where we We're that night,
with our backs to Catania, what We saw. On
our right this enormous flame going hundreds OF
feet into the air making the whole sky bright
red, and all down past US from our right and ex

hot lava moving downward in mass for miles,
and looking like an enormous sea of red-hot coke
The width across the lava where we were was
perhaps, three or four miles, and 1t started
about two miles above US and flowed some four
