Clouds of Ashes nml Dust Bring
Death to Natives.
San Francisco, July 16. The out
burst of a volcano on tho peninsula
of Kamtchatkn, oil February IS, last,
threw the whole country into utter
darkness for more than 48 hours,
and resulted in tho starving of scores
of natives, according to the officers
of tho barkentlno S. N. Castle, which
reached port last evening direct from
tho Okhotsk sea.
Tho natives, some of whom could
speak English, told Captain Pederson
and his' men that they had no knowl
edge of tho Bourco of tho terrible
storm that had camo upon thom,
Thoy know only that while they wero
crossing tho valleys In tho first flush
of spring a wavo of dust fell upon
thorn, followed by utter darkness
that continued for two dayB and
nights. Lava, almost hot, foil all
about them, and thero wero such
showers of black ashes that their
progress was stayed, and they wero
lucky to find undricd creeks and
springs. But tho party of natives
wns In diro straits, and some of them
had succumbed to their hardships.
In response to their request, Cap
tain Pcdorson sent off two boatloads
of provisions, which tho suffering na
tives said would Bufllce to keep them
on tho wny to Potropnlovsk.
