ton man reached the crater of the
volcano, $4,000 feet above the level Of

In the last 100 years not more than
six men have succeeded in reaching
Colima's crater. On account Of the
precipitous character Of the mountain
and the thick covering of sand and

issue from the crater and the posi-
bility of a violent eruption at any
