The country road is lighted by
strange, rosy diffusion from the ourn-
ing river, while puffy, cumulous
clouds. floating over it, glow IN san-
ron salmon and gold as they reflect
for a. moment its myriad lights, then
vanish into the obscurity OF the horl-
zon inky black in contrast to the
brazen sky which overhanss inc
glowing stream.
Great folds of lava burst suddenly
into white heat as some unknown
force churns them up, and then dull
into the red glow Of the main stream
while the lightning flashes Of Pele
play over their surface.
And where the fiery torrent plunges
over the plateau, an immense cloud
of steam from the boiling ocean
shoots up a full mile into the
heavens, taking on marvellous colors
of rose and gold as the sea breezes
swirl it about and spread its brilliant
cap toward the horizon
! AS the flow continues, the cliff OF
IA at the brink Of the sea has been
forced steadily oceanward by the
soIidifying lava, until a great pro
montory has been pushed ten miles
out from the sea wall. At the edge
of the sea the flow is 500 yards wide
but broadens to two miles before il
seethes over the a-a cliff into the
ocean. Farther back toward the

When the first eruption came, late

and in the latter days OF the erup-
