dious for the Shipping of Santorini. In returning after- 
wards to the Caftle of Scaro, we paffed by the little 
Port of the LcjJer Kammni $ and (by reafon of its near- 
nefs) could fcarce believe what they there told us, 
viz. That they could not hear there any ot the Noife 
that this New lfland made : Which w'e found to be 
true, and that the H«i'ght of this little lfland was the 
caufe of it. 
During all the reft of the time that I tarried at San 
torini , to the 15th of Auguft 1708. (at which time I 
came away) the Smoak, Fire, Noife, &c. continued much 
the fame as I have now defcribed ’em 5 that is to fay, 
they were always pretty moderate. 
This is all that I can fay of this Phenomenon all the 
.Circumftancesof which I have related fomuch the more 
faithfully, becaufe I was the only Perfon at Santorini 
who kept a Journal of what happened every Day 3 and 
of which I had given you an Account fooner, but that, 
in order to make it more compleat, I waited a long time 
in vain, in hopes to have feen and giyen you an Account 
of the End of it. From my leaving Santorini , to this pre- 
fentthe 6th of JhIji 1711 . 1 have received fever^l Letters, 
and have feen and fpoken with feveral Perfons who have 
come from thence within thefe few Days, and they all 
tell me, that the New lfland grows ftill in Length on 
that fide next Terafia. : That it is now about 6 Miles in 
eompafs : That as to the Fire and Noife under ground, 
they were more moderate than before ; which makes 
the Inhabitants of the lfland hope, that they (hall Ihort- 
ly fee an end of it. 
As for my part, when I confider, that the Paflages 
which give vent to- the Fire, are very large, and almoft 
in the middle of the lfland 5 and that there is no appear- 
ance that the Fire will ever make a Paffage at the Bot- 
tom of the Sea, fo as to let the Water in to extinguifh 
it $ I am of Opinion, that it may yet laft longer
