UTTER DARKNESS
Caused By Eruption Of

Natives In Hard Straits and Some
Succumb.-Given Food.

San Francisco, July 15.-The outburst
of Il volcano on the peninsula Of KANT
chatka Feb. IS last threw the whole
country into utter darkness for more
than 4S hours and resulted in the starv-
ing Of scores Of natives, according to
the officers Of the barkentine $. n.
Castle, which reached this port last
evening, direct from the Okhotsk sea.
The natives, some of whom could
speak English, told Capt. Petersen and
his men that they had no knowledge of
the source Of the terrible storm that
had come upon them.
They knew only that while they were
crossing the valley in the first flush Of
spring, 4 wave. of dust fell upon them.
followed by utter darkness that con-
tinucd fpr two days and nights. Lava,
almost hot. fell about them and there
were such showers of black ashes that
their progress w2s stayed and they
were lucky to find undried creeks and
springs.
But the party of natives was in dire
straits and some of them had sue
cumbei to their hardships. In response
to their request. Capt. Petersen sent
off two boatloads of provisions which
the suffering natives said would suffice
to keep them on the way to Petropav-
lOySk
