4. The above is all that oocnrs to me to remark upon, and I sliall now proceed to give the 
substance of the information gained from the Soogree : he states that in the month of Wageo 
01 June, at about 8 o’clock in the morning, he observed the eruption for the first time, issuing 
apparently from between three rocks to the eastward of his village and about one liour’s sail 
distance from it, to the south of Thoe-hyoo-gyoung-lot, White Sand Island, the one in tha 
sketch. The eruption was like fire of a bright red colour, and continued without intermission 
for throe da 3 -s, when it ceased, and deponent then observed that a small island has arisen 
from the sea; this island lasted for about a month, but he cannot say when it actually dis¬ 
appeared, for the weather was very boisterous during tho whole time, and it was only by a 
calm supervening and tho waves subsiding that he found tho island had ceased to exist. The 
surface of the sea was as before, and not a rock was displaced ; deponent did not visit' tbo 
volcanic island, nor did any one in bis circle, the fury of tho waves prevented all approach to it- 
When bo fir.st visited the island nearest tbo site of the eruption, the only change ho noticed was 
that some cocoanut trees had disappeared—probably been washed away—which were planted 
there about two years ago. During tbo time the eruption continued there was an unaccount¬ 
able increase of water in the wells and tanks of bis village; be also felt several slight shocks 
as of an earthquake during tho time. Tlio above, meagre as it is, is all the information 
I could obtain from tho SoogrOo, hut it was fully confirmed by the different inhabitants of 
llekooung whom I questioned on the subject.
