Honolulu, Sept. 5, via San Fran
Cisco, Sept. 16.—A slight earthquake
was felt on the island of Hawaii Fri
lay night, September 4, and at mid­
night the molten lava in the pit of
the volcano of Kilauea suddenly
ceased rising and immediately began
to run out below, the surface looking
like the water in a bathtub from
which the plug had been pulled.
Ihe molten lava ran rapidly away,
owering tile level instantly and
continuously until by Saturday morn
mg, or in something like seven or
eight hours, the 900 feet depth of
lava in the pit had all run out, and.
except for the cooling sides of the
pit, there was no fire seen or heat
felt. As the lava lowered in the pit
the walls scaled off in great masses,
dropping into the molten lava below
them, ihe few who were fortunate
enough to see this wonderful phe­
nomena describe it as most awe-in­
spiring.
The lava iu the pit, then about 900
or 1000 feet deep, began to rise nearly
three years ago, and had been rising
gradually since, until it was within
about 100 feet of the top of the pit
It is supposed that the earthquake
opened some fissure below by which
the lava flowed out, perhaps under
the sea.
On Saturday night another slight
earthquake was felt, and at midnight
Saturday it was observed that activ­
ity in the pit had begun again, molten
lava being thrown up in fountains
more than 100 feet high, and at latest '
accounts the lava had again risen 400
feet in the pit.
