Sound. 



A black column of smoke 

 ascended high into the air ; 

 the sound of the explosion was 

 something terrific, lasting for 

 about 30 minutes. 



Ashes. 



A rumbling sound was 

 heard by some. 



Sound like distant thunder. 



Ashes fell in abundance in 

 the neighbourhood of the 

 mountain for about an hour 

 and it was not until about 4 

 o'clock p.m. that it entirely 

 ceased. I was bathed by ashes. 

 The thickness was 1 shaku near 

 Shirakijö, and 6 sun near Hi- 

 nokuchi. The ashes were pow- 

 dery, but occasionally mixed 

 with rocky fragments which 

 struck upon our bodies. 



No ashes fell.
