NEW ENGLAND GIRLS
TALE ABOUT CRATER

Needham (Mass.) Chronicle.-A Hyde
Park girl, Miss Margaret B. Scott, has
written a letter to her father, Walter
Scott, from Hilo, Hawaii, giving an ac-
count Of her recent visit to the famous
volcano at that place After reading
this sketch, you may conclude that the
crater of a volcano is a somewhat big
ger affair than you have supposed it
to be:
Here we are living on the brink
of one Of the biggest volcanoes in the
world. The trip takes ton an island
steamer) from Tuesday noon until Wed
nesday at 10 a. m, when We reached
Hilo. We stayed two days in Hlo, got
team and drove to several sugar plan
tations. Robert knows them al,
through doing work for them In the
iron works.
son Friday morning we started for
the volcano. The train took US up
twenty-five miles and we came the other
nine miles by stage. 1t is uphill and
the horses take over two hours to do
it. The Volcano House, or hotel, is
built on the brink of the outer crater
and the trail goes down in front of the
hotel 500 feet to the lava bed or floor
as they call il. Then we have to walk
three and half miles across this lava
bed to the inner crater where the ae-
tivity is. The horses were then tied
up in shelter place and we went the
rest of the way on foot. Indeed lots
walk all the way from the hotel. We
did one day, but it is so hard coming
up part of the trail.
Well, as [ said, we walked the rest
Of the way, and Of course l was Just
| wearying to get my first look into the
crater. Robert had seen it last June.
Well, / did and it is just awfuk That
/ seethlng, boiling mass of redhot lava
and it just foars like the sea or waves
beating up on the shore-that seems
! the greatest wonder to me; then it will
lash itself up and flow over on to the
inner rim, that is of course 200 feet
| down from US. A great mass of liquid
lava viii seem to flow in a mass then
suddenly break and burst up in the air,
fountain Of fire. They say that they
/ rise TO thirty feet, but one would never
/ think so from where we stand.
/ = 1t is grand by day and bright sun
/ Light, but imagine II, If you can. as
! darkness comes On and that glow be-
/ gins to come in the sky from It, and
the walls are all lighted. It Is indie
seribable-you hate to leave 1t and 90
home. There is little shelter house
where we have coffee, which has been
warmed over the big heat cracks. We
| have to jump over these cracks before
We come to the main pit. AL around
the hotel are gteaming cracks. The
whole ground steams, but these cracks
speak of are not steam, 1t is just pure
heat. We stick postal cards down into
them and they get seorehed.
= We are thinking of staying another
! week here. The change is so great
from Honolulu. 1t IS 1000 feet above
| sea level, 50 yor can see 1t Is good
and cool There has been a good deal
Of rain since we came up, but we put
on our rain coats and 20 right ahead. =
