392 Wood — Effects in Mokuaweoioeo of the Eruption of 1914- 



uplifted bodily 10 to 12 feet (3 to 4 meters) along a very narrow 

 tract lying on both sides of the fracture. And between this 

 uplifted and fractured tract and the older cone a very short 

 segment of the channel remains undisturbed. See the photo- 

 graph, fig. 11. 



In briefest terms, — fig. da shows that, in 1913, in the regions 

 of the crater just north of that previously considered, the black 

 lava cascade emerging on the west wall fell into contact, at the 

 bottom, with the still unsubnierged surface of the west remnant 

 of the north lunate platform. In 1915, as fig. 35 shows, this 

 part of this remnant had been buried by overflow. But a pho-

tograph made on December 15, 1914, though too hazy to be 

 reproduced, shows that this overflowing had not taken place on 

 that date. 



Fig. 4a, which depicts the northern and central part of the 

 crater floor, shows that in 1913, there was still a considerable 

 cliff separating the northeast platform, at the gap, from the 

 lava floor below. No estimate of its height is attempted. In 

 1915, as shown in fig. 4c, the floor at this place had been built 

 up so that only a suggestion of the cliff remains, — a low bank 

 9 to 10 feet (about 3 meters) high, to show that these surfaces 

 are still at different levels. As we should now expect, fig. 45, 

 a photograph taken on December 15, 1914, shows that this 

 upbuilding at the north had not then taken place. Even a 

 little snow rested on the floor not far from the base of this low 

 cliff, — a strong indication that no new lava had yet reached 

 this reo'ion of the floor.
