Sound. 



Tolerably loud sound was 

 heard. 



Peculiar sounds were heard 

 by some continuing for about 

 2minutes. 



Ashes. 



Noises heard for about 3 

 minutes. 



Ashes began to fall from 

 about 9 h. 30 min. a.m., and 

 continued until 2 h. 30 min. 

 p.m. During this interval the 

 atmosphere had a misty ap- 

 pearance; the film of the ashes 

 turned vegetable and other 

 objects into greyish hue. Ashes 

 fell at one time so thickly as 

 to fill the eyes and nostrils 

 of the passers-by. The street 

 was almost impassable. [A 

 sample of the ash was sent] . 



At about 10 a.m. finely 

 powdered ashes fell, coating 

 the vegetation and roofs. 



A greenish white coloured 

 powder or ash fell forming a 

 thin coating over mulberry 

 leaves, &c. In the village of 

 Kawauchi, 5 ri west of this 

 place, the ashes fell in the 

 form of lumps about the size 

 of a pea.
