  Part, 
  at 
  least, 
  of 
  the 
  recent 
  lava, 
  was 
  pro- 
  

   bably 
  emitted 
  soon 
  after 
  Captain 
  Blair's 
  

   visit. 
  

  

  A 
  quantity 
  of 
  very 
  white 
  smoke 
  close 
  to 
  

   the 
  crater. 
  

  

  Exploded 
  regularly 
  every 
  10 
  minutes, 
  

   projecting 
  each 
  time 
  a 
  column 
  of 
  black 
  

   smoke 
  perpendicularly 
  to 
  a 
  great 
  height. 
  

   In 
  the 
  night 
  a 
  fire 
  of 
  considerable 
  size 
  

   continued 
  to 
  burn 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  side 
  of 
  

   the 
  crater. 
  

  

  " 
  Large 
  volumes 
  of 
  thin 
  white 
  smoke 
  

   kept 
  continually 
  issuing 
  " 
  from 
  the 
  sum- 
  

   mit. 
  

  

  From 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  cone 
  "a, 
  clear 
  

   and 
  full 
  stream 
  of 
  transparent 
  vapor 
  

   issued, 
  so 
  transparent 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  

   perceptible 
  from 
  the 
  sea." 
  

  

  Very 
  active. 
  

  

  " 
  Some 
  smoke 
  was 
  seen 
  occasionally 
  to 
  

   issue 
  from 
  the 
  slope 
  of 
  the 
  cone 
  " 
  a 
  

   little 
  way 
  below 
  the 
  ejected 
  block 
  men- 
  

   tioned 
  at 
  p. 
  17. 
  

  

  " 
  Clouds 
  of 
  hot 
  watery 
  vapor," 
  with 
  a 
  sul- 
  

   phurous 
  smell, 
  issued 
  from 
  cracks 
  near 
  

   the 
  summit, 
  on 
  the 
  northern 
  and 
  

   southern 
  edges 
  of 
  the 
  crater. 
  

  

  Sulphureous 
  vapors 
  issuing 
  along 
  the 
  edge 
  

   of 
  the 
  crater. 
  

  

  A 
  whitish 
  vapor 
  was 
  evolved 
  from 
  several 
  

   deep 
  fissures 
  near 
  the 
  summit. 
  

  

  From 
  the 
  highest 
  point 
  on 
  the 
  northern 
  

   edge 
  of 
  the 
  crater 
  a 
  thin 
  column 
  of 
  

   white 
  vapor, 
  and 
  sulphureous 
  fumes, 
  

   were 
  slowly 
  poured 
  forth. 
  

  

  Superheated 
  steam, 
  with 
  sulphureous 
  va- 
  

   por, 
  issued 
  rather 
  copiously 
  from 
  the 
  

   solf 
  atara 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  crater, 
  

   the 
  column, 
  as 
  it 
  rose 
  into 
  the 
  air, 
  

   being 
  visible 
  from 
  the 
  landing-place, 
  or 
  

   even 
  some 
  distance 
  out 
  at 
  sea. 
  Steam 
  

   in 
  smaller 
  quantity 
  issued 
  from 
  some 
  

   other 
  spots 
  also.
