' According to a reading of th signs in ths cavern there have been four flow or eruptions -. through It since th channel was first r cut- Th first flow, ae It -receded" and ' " cooled, left a narrow shelf of hardened lava along each side of ths cavern, a 1 few feet from the floor. Tho next flow . waa not quite so strong and left a slm- liar lava mark just below snd insld th Srst Sucoeetng flows were still lesa, as tho fires of he mountain receded, '. and th last flow e only a little more than sufficient to cover the floor, on ' which It cooled, leaving a surface that ; Is nearly smooth.
