contd. 
At six in the afternoon the clouds of dust subside and the strong winds, 
which were insupportable during the afternoon subsided. In the evening 
there were no incandescent rocks or scoria on the rad reflection of the 
» 
lava vent and flow. 
Five or six kilometers east the volcano there appeared some clouds 
crowning the Cerros of Cuzato and Pario but they are independent of the 
clouds from the crater, although the crater also emits vapors, without force, 
which rise to a higher altitude and drift toward the northeast. The cold 
winds begin to blow very early, from the east and all day raise heavy dust 
clouds. Winds come from other directions and meet those from the east, 
forming whirlwinds at times. At six in the evening all becomes tranquil. 
Only the noises from the crater are heard and will continue all the night. 
The vapors from the crater do not carry sand with them and in case they do, 
it will be a vary fine ash. The contrary winds blow toward the west and 
also blow toward the east. In the night one sees the red glow of the 
simple vapor. There is no scoria, nothing more than the noise, at times 
diminishing somewhat, then returning little by little, like a wave of the sea, 
sometimes almost approaching thunder. 
For several days I have noted some frost, this morning it is somewhat heavier. 
Everywhere the ashy color of the sand is whitened by sparkles of frost. 
This is the rEBtsil result of the strong winds of the previous days. It is 
doing the same today, east winds provoking the formation of dust clouds. 
The noises in the crater continue, with a very fine column toward the northeast. 
The w inds in the afternoon blow from the west. Some clouds that have been 
emitted from the crater have formed toward the northeast of the cone and 
appear yellow at sunset.
