Tells of Witnessing

Joseph ii. Sinclair, representing
the American Geographic society, has
returned to this country from a hard
where he had a terrific experience In
an endeayor to reach a smoking vol
cano which had erupted, the whole
country for miles around being del
uged with flow of lava The ma
tives had a wholesome superstitious
fear of the great pile and could not
be induced to guide the explorer as
near as he wanted to go, but by his
own efforts and alone he managed TO
get within seven miles of the cone
and this was near enough for him to
witness a number of explosions which
repeatedly changed the contour Of the
craters rim. Little or nothing had
been known about the volcano and he
secured valuable data concerning its
character and location
Mr.. Sinclair pointed out that he was
not the first white man to see the vol
canO--a mountain which the natives
call Reventador. meaning "EruptOr.'
Near the place the explorers came on
lone white man who could not tell
them how long he had been there nor
why he had penetrated SO far from
civilized association. Nor would he
go with them to the mountain. He,
too, had been infected by the supersti-
ton of the natives. which holds that
whenever a human sets foot on the
