232 An Account of the Eruption 



being broken, as it was on the 28th ultimo, is already formed 

 anew, and is regularly circular; it emits sand, scoria, and 

 smoke, but all at the same time, and not at intervals, as formerly. 

 The lava runs within the valley del Trifoglietto, in the same 

 quantity as before ; in the Contrada di Giannicola it widens, and 

 expands towards the lands of the Solifizio ; within Calanna, it 

 has ceased to run. 



5th. — The cone sends out smoke, fire, and sand, without noise. 



6th and 7th. — The lava begins again to flow a little in the 



valley di Calanna, and it is feared that it may bury the source of 



the Acqua Rossa. On the other side, it threatens the Contrada 



del Cerrazzo. 



8/A. — From the cone, the smoke issues from two neighbouring 

 throats or apertures, with more noise than before. 

 9th and \Oth. — The cone smokes and roars terribly. 

 Wth. — The cone emits smoke with its usual force, and its 

 northern throat is considerably enlarged, and is that from which 

 issue inmiense columns of smoke, with scoriae, and rumbling noises. 

 \2th and \Sth. — The highest crater begins to be quiet ; the 

 cone diminishes its northern throat, and emits little smoke ; the 

 lava appears to take the direction of II Cerrazzo, and passes that 

 of 1811. 



\Uh, — The roarings are more terrific and deafening. 

 15//i, le^A, and \7th. — The interior of the cone remains divided 

 on the southern side, and vomits smoke, with the usual frightful 

 noise ; and in the northern half, it would be almost choked up, 

 if it were not for small holes which exhale smoke, and through 

 which the liquid and red-hot matter can be observed at the bottom. 

 -The portion of the Ciglione of the valley del Bue, which fell in 

 on the 13th of June, is now sunk somewhat more. The lava 

 continues to run in quantity, and with great velocity, and ramifies 

 within the valley del Bue. 



\%th to the 27th. — The lava runs from the cone, but without 

 noise. 



2Sth to the 3l5< Idem^ August \st, — The lava is now suddenly 

 stopped.
