SWALLOWED UP BY FIRE.
An Island Which DISAPPEARED In tho

An Island Which DISAPPEARED In tho Inc
dian Oosan 500 Years Ago.
The people Of what was formerly tho
island Of Torca, Indian ocean, once
had q foretaste Of what the orthodox
believe the end of the world will be
like. Up to June 4, 1893, tbs island
was thickly populated. according to
the st. Louis Republic, and in high
state Of cultivation. Early that morn.
ing the volcano, which had long been
recognized as the standing menace to
the island, began to rumble in an
alarming manner and to throw out
more fire and lava chan was usual.
This continued to increase for several
days, till at last the whole mountain
ridge, which extended across, the
western portion of the island, ap-
peared as solid sheet of fire, gradual
ly sinking into the earth. -Four days
after the sinking Of the mountain was
first observed the entire ridge had dis
appeared, leaving gigantic lake Of
boiling lava in it's stead. This lake be-
gan to gradually encroach upon the
valleys and cultivated portions Of the
island and quickly consumed the
whole western portion. Hundreds OF
people fed In boats to Amboy during
the early part of July and others to
village on the east coast, Hislo, the
largest town on the island, having
been destroyed during the early days
OF tho eruption. On July 10 al that
portion of Torca west of Caraca creek
! (the only stream on the island) had en-
tirely disappeared, q restless lake OF
billowy flames rolling over what had
but a few weeks before been fertile
fields On July 10, 1898, when it was
apparent even to the most stoutrheart-
ed that the whole island was doomed,
the remaining islanders were hurried
on to some ships sent from Amboy for
that purpose. They were none too
soon: Before the vessels had gotten
out of sight tract of land ten leagues
in extent plunged into the fiery lake
with prodigious noise. Ten days
later the entire island had been de-
voured by the resistless element,
which had, in all probability, been
slowly undermining it for years.
