from the inland sea and Travelled over
a country laid waste by sand, ashes

made the journey by rail to Cham
perico and there took the steamer to
San Francisco. They sailed on No

smoking and rumbling of thunder and
flashes of lightning gave evidence of
more eruptions to come. These people
fed from their plantations in fear for
their lives. They escaped to the sea-
side with little more than the cloth

difficult as to preclude the carrying of
baggage. ~ ~.
