like little Clouds, but they foon vanilh’d, others not long

We fet forwards toafcend the laft and fteepeft part of 
our Journey, viz. the Sugar-Loaf, exadly at half an 
Hour pad: Three, and after we had refted twice or thrice, 
I left the Guide and the reft of my Company, and ran for- 
wards 5 and when 1 was got very nigh the Top ( which 
was at three quarters after Three) two more of the Com- 
pany deferred, and came up about Five Minutes after me ; 
the reft of the Company and the Guide coming up to the 
Top juft at Four. 
The Shape of the Top of the Pike is partly oval, the 
longeft Diameter lying N. N. tV. and S. S. E, and is as 
nigh as I could guefs, about 1 40 Yards long ; the Breadth 
the other way being about no. Within the Top of the 
Pike is a very deep Hole call’d the Caldera. ( or Kettle) the 
deepeft part of which lyes at the South End : It is l be- 
lieve 40 Yards deep, reckoning from the higheft fide of 
the Pike : but it is abundance fhallower reckoning from the 
fide oppofite to Garachica. The fides of this Kettle are 
very fteep, in fome places as fteep as the Defcenc on the 
outfideof the Sugar-Loaf. At the Bottom of this Kettle 
we all were, where lye a great many very large Stones, 
fome of them higher than our Heads. The Earth that is 
within fide the Kettle, being roll’d up long and put to a 
Candle, will burn like Brimftone. Several places within 
fide the Top of the Pike are burning, as on the Outfide; 
and in fome places if you turn up the Stones you’ll find 
very fine Brimftone or Sulphur flicking to them. At thefe 
Holes where the Smoak comes out there alfo comes forth 
a great Hear, fo hot that one cannot endure one’s Hand 
there long. At the N. by E. fide within the Top is the 
Cave where we found the dead Goat ; in which Cave
