CLOSEUP VIEW OF ETNA
RECALLS DANTE'S INFERNO
Correspondent Climbs to Brink of Crater
and Lilens Boiling Lava to
Vulcan Workshop.
BY carroll BINDER.

BY Gable to The Star and CHICAGO Daily
News. Copyright, 1929
TAORMINA. Sicily, November TO-
After weeks continuous eruption,
Mount Etna Is emitting lava In greater
quantities than ever.
The correspondent had good look
at the fiery destroyer Thursday. An
obliging wind blew the heat and fumes
in the opposite direction long enough
to permit climb to the mouth of the
angry eruption hole known as Cerrita.
Reversal of the wind after an hour
caused hasty retreat but in the mean
time, the writer had the privilege of
seeing natures forces operating close
up. The sight was more impressive
than anything described in Dante's In
ferno.
Three great holes emit smoke and
gas INCREASINGLY. At regular intervals
there is a hideous rumbling, as II Vul-
can were rafting gigantic tin plates in
the bowels of the earth. Then comes a
sound like a gigantic rocket exploding
and the air Is filled with innumerable
rocks. which fall about for q hundred
yards.
EARTHQUAKES Cause FisSures.
Across on the other side of the crater
the earth smoked through cracks, some
yards wide and others only few inches
wide. These cracks were produced by
earthquakes, incident to the eruption
and the natives expect them to result
In earth slides.
But the dominating sight Is the
mighty river of lava emerging from
the holes and pouring down the noun
tain sides like a rain-swoolen red and
black river, with velocity at the source
Of is miles an hour This molten river
sweeps through rich and elaborately
terraced hillside orchards, but keeps
to its. fixed channel. about 100 yards
wide, for considerable distance. Then
1t forms a spectacular horseshoe. with
cascades strikingly like those of Niagara
Falls for a sharp fall OF 500 yards.
Partially cooled lava walls in the
fresh stream of red in the center and
slows down the movement of the mass.
The stream now Is about 35 miles long
and is about to attack the Taormina-
Catana Railway. which previously was
enormously reported overfiowed.
Worst in 60 Years.
This is the worst lava flow in 60
years. but all this side of Mount Etna
is frequently inundated. On the ascent
to the crater from the village Of Presa
the writer climbed over old lava for
several hours of his journey. While
descending, another crater hole. began
erupting, thus augmenting the fiery
effesion.
Civil and military authorities have
perfect command of the situation and
are taking measures to avoid distress
among the people. 1t still Is too early
to estimate the damage. but 1t certainly
will reach many million lire.

While some miners were playing
streams from fire extinguishers and

Several mules in one stope, cut

dense smoke drove them away.
