it has advanced 300 meters over the old flow. The other, which is a 
small flow, issues from the slope of the small cone that is forming at 
the place where a sugar-loaf had formed during the first year. This 
small flow spreads along the S.W. base of the cone and will pass to the 
west of the main cone. In 18 hours it has also flowed about 200 meters. 
The crater has eruptions with strong noises, and is lilled with cauli- 
flowers that rise with great speed to a great heignt and many Oi the bombs 
fall upon the lava, 200 meters from the base of the cone. In the night, 
it is a marvelous spectacle, as only incandescent rocks, without any 
vapors, each second form a maravilla (a marigold). 
8. The deep noises in the crater continue. A weak, yeilowian column 
rises to a height of 2,000 meters, leveling off toward the west. itn 
each explosion the bombs rise to a height of 300 meters. midaay 
some CU ciiuds form, which join with the denser vapors of Paricutin. 
A 
;,t 3:30 PM some heavy drops of rain begin to fail at the oan Juan camp* 
The temperature is 25° ( centigrade) in spite of the strong winds that blow 
with a velocity of 8 meters per second, raising terrible clouds of dust. 
Some white vapors escape from the crater with heavy noise. At 7 in the 
evening the principal lava vent enters into activity, throwing out a stream 
4 or 5 meters above the vent, or ±ksxw throws out scoria that clears the 
throat of the vent and fall about the small cone of the horn it 0. At the 
same time there are eruptions in the crater that covers the cone with 
incandescent bombs, scoria, sand and ashes. There are some stones that 
reach a height of 800 meters or more. There were few times when the 
volcano has had eruptions like this.
