In this last channel there was much
fOuntaining, and Old Faithful could be
identified northeast Of the small island.
There was new overflow on the south
east floor. The lake was about one
foot below the banks. The large island
appeared thirty feet high on It's east
side slipping to the lake level on the
west, The small island appeared Ave
feet high. This days position seemed
to indicate that the island block had
straighteHed up to occupy the middle

Rapid Rising Noted
At 8 p. m. on May 10 from the east
and southeast stations glowing cracks
could be seen all over the south bench
showing that strong overflow and rising
had taken place. The large island had
migrated bodily northward as though
by rotation in horizontal plane so
that its western horn impinged against
the north bank and the U.shaped cove
on that side of the island was nearly
closed. The channel between the isl
ands was narrowed. The sfnnll island
was nearly submerged, but still exhibit
ed slight southwesterly tilt to its sur
face. There was no marked change in
the tilt of the large island. The west
end of the lake was now it's widest
part and the streaming arose on the
northwest and flowed around the island
to the northeast and through the chan
| mel nOrthward.

low, it was shaped like q huge invert-
ed V with its west leg against the
bank and O slight opening between the
bank and its east leg.
The southwest hoor had built up at
