THE Gr.EAÏ ERUPTION O]-' SAKUKA-JIMA IN l'J14. 47 



saino na.iuo. (?) Movézaki or ' burning capo.' On the southern 

 flank a. lava stroain crawled down to the shore from a large 

 explosion-hollow of An-ei-Zan or Shin-moyk (see Geologic Map), 

 forming Cape Tatsusaki. In Arimura a new lara-hland rose but 

 disappeared later.

^^hJ?- *^"^ two new ones began to gush forth on shore at the 

 east and west ends of the lava-held between Furusato 

 and Yuno-hama. I'hey originated probably from meteoric water 

 descending the slope, being warmed on the way by cooling 

 lava and later mixed with sea water. The temperature and level 

 were said to have changed with the phases of tides. 



There is another hot-spring, 36 C, wdiich is located at the 

 bottom of wdiat seems to have been once a small cove in Kuro- 

 kami. The spring is of an old date and of saline nature with 

 alkaline reaction. It once ceased to flow, but revived in 1771). 

 This is also located at the margin of the An-ei flow on shore. 



Ash-fall Asli fell ill enomious quautitics, especially on the 



Osumi side of Kagoshima Bay, vu., the vfllages of Tarumi, Ushiné 

 and Fukuyama, and a sheet of pumice covered the bay to a 

 thickness of ö or 6 feet, so that the terror-stricken people fled on 

 foot, on November Otli, to the opposite Osumi coast over the 

 narrow channel of Seto, and wild boars crossed to the Kagoshima 

 side (the high flat of Yoshino, sec Geologic Map) over the floating 

 pumice. During the eruption 'the whole island of Kyûshû, tlie 

 provinces of Isé, Shinia, Owari, Mikawa, and farther east became 

 dark and ashes fell there. On the 17th November asli fell in 



1) The hot-spring revived during 1835-'36. It is of saline nature witli a weak acidic 

 reaction and little content of carbonic acid, the temperature being 39'C. The two new ones 

 have a temperature of 45'C., and saline cliaraeter with alkaline reactions. See p. 56.
