covered by lava. The eruption continues in the form of a black pillar 
accompanied by a small white column. The noise one bears is like panting 
or snoring, like one frequently does when one sleeps deeply. Dusty winds 
from the west, with the vapor column drifting toward the east. 
23 - A little after 8 AM the strong dusty winds begin to cover the entire 
region and since the column drifts toxvard the east, the sun is obscured. 
The temperature feels about 18°-20°(C). 3r. Krauskopf, who has collected 
samples of condensec vapors, sublimates, bombs of the crater, ashes, sands 
and scoria has made studies of the clouds, temperature, elevations of the 
crater, as well as the lava vents and the whole volcanic region. He is 
a man of superior intelligence. At 8:15 in the evening an eruption of lin

of scoria and bombs fall with each silent eruption every 10-15 minutes.

northeast. Hith each strong eruption at 10-15 minute intervals, bombs 
are thrown out and fall on the northwest flank of the crater. After mid- 
day dense black clouds form in the northeast. At 3 PII storm thunder 
25 kilometers from the volcano. Dusty gusts of wind from the east. 
At 4 PM some explosions are stronger than others. A t 8 PM thunder and 
rain all over the west, north and northeast* Two eruptions at 9, with 
great quantities of bombs of all sizes that cover all of the northeast, 
north and northwest slopes* They continue all during the night but with 
less frequency. At 4:30 PM an explosion as strong as any the volcano has 
had during its existence, that threw a large tonnage of rocks from the crater, 
which upon falling shattered and rolled down the slope, trailing red streaks 
in their course. At 7:30 another equal explosion. A simple column, in
