eggs in one of these crevices and
allowed them to stay for five min

finest lot of roasted eggs you ever
ate. From there we next visited
Halemaumau 1.-The pit of living

some of the Morgan county people

mike over the edge Of the pit that
afternoon Although the Mike"
was at least half a mile from those
roaring pits "KGU" has received
hundreds of letters telling of the
wonderful reception of those roar
ing pits as far as New York.
/ am enclosing you a photograph
taken at the time this broadcasting
was being done. You may be able
to draw some conclusions as to the
enormity of these erupting foun-
tains and the distance the camera
was from them, when you will note
the wall of the pit in the fore
ground. From the top to the pit o.
fire it is 1850 feet. You will note
in the back which appears to be
long, sloping plateau is Moana
Lua, which / spoke of. We went
back to the car and had picnic
lunch. BY the time we were finish
ed, it had grown dark. Returning
to the pit we found the view to be
even more spectacular than during
the day After watching the pit Of
roaring fire while, turned to my

"a. b. Dewitt WITNESSES
VOLCANO IN ERUPTION

Morgan County Democrat - lett
old Morgan county, the place of my
birth, 43 years ago. Since that
time have been in almost every
continent and island on the gfobe'
only to witness spectacular scene
on Dec. 27, 1881, that comes TO q
person only once in ilfetlme-1a
volcano in actual eruption.
On Christmas day, word reached
Honolulu that the volcano Haze
maumau had started to erupt.
drove to the airport to engage pas
sage to the volcano. Others had
beat me to it, The only available
space was on pane leaving Homo
lulu at s a. M, Dec. 27. | was for
tunate as the morning OF the 1itn
broke with scarcely a cloud in the
sky and scarcely no wind. We TOOK
off and went to an altitude OF q
little over 1000 feet which was
maintained throughout the entre
trip. Can you imagine flying over
the Pacific ocean for zoe miles with
nothing but water from 1000 feef
to three miles deep under you? 1t
surely makes funny little feelings
run up and down your spine, espec-
tally when you hit an air pocket
and drop through space. Wnat
grand and glorious feeling 1t is
when you hit the solid air again.
But before | go any farther, ]
would like to tell you something
about these little specks out here in
the middle of the Pacific ocean, the
Hawaiian Islands. They start in
about 1000 miles northwest OF
Oahu pronounced Ah-wa-hoo), and
circle in southeasterly direction.
At the beginning they are nothing
more than rocks sticking out of the
water, gradually increasing in size
until we reach Nihau, This is
small island sparsely settled. Next
comes Kaui. You can just see an
outline of this island from Oahu on
a clear day. All islands are visable
from each other on clear days. Kaui
is known as the Garden Island"
j.
Rodgers was found, after being
forced down for the lack of fuel on
his historical flight from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, after drifting for
several days. Next comes Oahu
where the capitol of the islands,
Honolulu, is located. Honolulu is
often referred to as the crossroads
of the Pacific, because all ships
from and to, the United States, Aus
tralia, China and Japan stop here.
The United States main military
posts are located on this island, or
we might say it is Uncle Sans Pa
cific sentry. Next comes Molokai,
known as the leper island. On
this island is located the leper set
tlement for all the islands. People
that are stricken with this disease
are sent to this settlement where
they spend the rest Of their lives,
for few are ever cured. Here is
something that has always struck
me as peculiar, and that is, children
