The earthquak" extended from 1Iokkaido to the Moutians aad was but q proIongatlon of the sels- matic phenomena occurring Tn Nam chatka, where l was wrecked on the Flronotslly peninsula. Ten days later GO sea miles to the south, l found my self at Semlachill from where l saw the magnificent eruption of volcano KarimsEaya. Above mountaln ridge which lay between we could see without the aid of glasses the eNpul- sion of showers of rocks, many oi which must have been larger than ships. as they flew through the sky in giant parabolas. Only the tiowery N~lGihlp tn US as it played against the sky. The smoke column, tilted southWard by the wind, reached upwards thousands of feet and in two days the smoke cloud extended 100 miles down the coast and out to sea.
 Then the wind shifted to the west and the ship was sprinklod with vol | canic dust. There was a great roar like the sound of an artillery battle, and it was reported that the water of | Kron6tsky Bay had risen in tempera- | ture five and one-half degrees while magnetic disturbances rendered the ships compass unavoidable. Fearing a subterrancan sea-Waye we put out | 45 miles off the shore and on Sep l tember recorded @ violent earth | quake which shook the ship. The same was experienced at the Com mandorsky islands and USt kam- | chatka.
 "There are few places where the | direct and positive force of nature can be realized so intensely as in this far away land. There are about 63 volcanoes in Kamchatka Of which 20 are active; there is no historian to record their great doings except an astonished fisherman 1000 or 1,200 miles away. A geographical eXpedi- ton from Sweden intends to an nounce next year the results of it's scientific work in Kamchatka."
