HE SAW THE ERUPTION
Eyewitness Describes the Disaster ON
Island Of Sakura.

Toxic. Jan. ia story of the
eruption and earthquakes. which de-
vastated the island of Sakura and the
town of Kagoshima, destroying hum
dreds of lives on January IA, IL given
today, by Theodore Rhoyer OF Wis
consin. an eyewitness. He says:
The volcano of Sakura-Jfma at the
beginning of the eruption resembled q
Niagara of fire from which masses of
molten stone were hurled long dis
tances. During the night Of Jan. IA,
a loud explosion was heard, followed
by a flash of flame and cloud OF
ashes rising many thousand feet in the
air.
Beneath the cloud Of smoke and
ashes broad streams Of lava could be
plainly seen. flowing down the slopes
to the sea. The forests on the noun
tain side quickly caught fire and the
flames spread to the houses of the nu-
merous little villages nearby. The en-
tire western coast line of Sakura
seemed to be ablaze and a strong
wind carried smoke gas and hot ashes
straight to the mainland.
From Kagoshima, three miles
across the bay, people fled in panic
stricken crowds. many of them ascend
ing the steep sides of Shire Yama
mountain and looking back from there
in terror on the scene.
"A heavy rain fell the next night
flying dust and ashes. Many OF the
people returned to their crumbling
houses. Sakura-Jima was still active
ly belching out flames and cinders,
but the earthquake shocks were be-
coming less violent and soon subsided
altogether for a time. The town of
Kagoshima was filled with noxious
gases, however.
II made q visit the following morn
ing to within short distance of
Sakura. but it was impossible to reach
the shore in q boat. owing to the
floating fields Of pumice stone.
The occupants Of the boat could
!! observe that the villages along the
shore, with their rice fields and gar
dens, had been levelled by the molten
lava, while the surrounding forests
had been destroyed.
