TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, DECMfBER H, 186&
At the Crater or Tcsurlas.
From the Pall Mali Gazette,
Often as VesuTlna Las been described, there
Is one Bet of impressions which are perhaps
the most generally interesting of all, bat
which, from the nature of the case, cannot 80
fretjaently be recorded. I refer to the Impres
sions of one who has stood upon the lip of the
crater and looked down while an eruption is
actually in progress. It is not always that a
view of hucIi a scene can be obtained. It was
At a time when orash was following crash in a
manner that was quite sufficiently terrible,
and when all the eutlocating steams and vapors
Were being driven to one side of the mountain
by a strong wind, that we were able to go np
from the windward side, stand npon the lip of
the orater, look down into the roaring abyss,
and see what the eruption of a voloauo looks
like on the ppot.
That is, in truth, the only way of getting
an idea of what a repository of horrors a vol
cano is. Without such a visit Vesuvius is
often a little disappointing. It is nothing but
a fine mountain, just like any other, says
Mendelssohn. You may be a little disap
pointed as yon see Vesuvius from below. But
you have only to mount to the summit when
an eruption of any magnitude is in progress,
to Cud yourself in the presence of appalling
phenomena both of sight and sound. Choose
the lasttew hours of daylight for your ascent,
and then, 8.3 the darkness closes round, and
the world below becomes hidden from your
view, you stand at the crater in the preseuce
of a see: e for whioh no language cau be very
extravagant. For experienced mountaineers
the effort required for the ascent is nothing
remarkable, but for ordinary people it is
laborious enough.
Yon arrive at the edge of the crater, and
tere you behold a scene full of awe and ma
jesty. The suddenness with which you come
upon it is quite startling. Going up you
neither see nor hear anything. One moment
you are clambering np the side of the cone
amid profound silence; the next moment, as
jour head rises above the crater lip, you en
counter a roar and a blaze which make yon
fchrink back a little. This surprise is occa
sioned, I suppose, by the formation of the
crater. It is a huge bowl which conies up to
quite a sharp lip, about half a mile in diameter
and some hundred yards in depth. Towards
the bottom of this bowl, on the opposite Bide
to where we stood, was a great hole, from
which all the projectiles of the eruption were
Bhot; the surface of the bowl being composed
of lumps of lava, stones, and cinders, all of
them smeared with sulphur, precisely like
those upon which we were standing. As you
mount the cone there is between you and the
gnlf an enormous wall, which dulls every
thing alike for eye and ear. Kven while on
the fcteeps of the cone itself you might be
unaware that the mountain was disturbed.
But a single step seems almost enough to
transfer you from the most deathlike stillness
to the grandest exhibition of force it is possi
ble to conotive. Instead of tho monotonous
dull black of congealed lava on the lower
levels, you luve the deep brick red of stones
that have been under the action ef fire, the
brightest vermilion, and every imaginable
Shade of orange and yellow that sulphur de
posits are capable of taking. The ground is
Lot too; so hot, indeed, that you cannot keep
your fcot on the same spot for many seconds
together. Between the chiuks of the stones
you can see that a few inches below the sur
faoe it is actually red hot. You thrust in the
end of your stick for a moment and you pull
it out charred. Over all the farther half ot the
crater there hangs a dense cloud of
Bmoke and vapor; - all around you there
is an atmosphere of sulphur which
sets you coughing; from numberless small
holes about your feet there issue with a
hiss sulphurous jets of steam which
nearly choke you as you pass over them; and
then as j ou look down into the actual abyss
you are face to face with the most appalling
phenomena both of sight and sound which,
perhaps, the who e of Europe has to offer.
Among the crowd of strange sensations that
are experienced at such a time the phenomena
of Eound are perhaps the most wonderful of
all. What meets the ear is, if anything, even
more lerrifio than what meets the eye. Even
to s'g1 1 the eruption is not just what the
imagination paints it beforehand. It does not
0 nsitt, a? the pictures ueceesarily lead one to
8 ppose, of a continuous shower at all. .Still
1 ss does it consist of a continuous shower of
I) ack ashes shot out from a fire blazing on
the top of the mountains; it is rather a series
0' explosions. Bat the roar and glare of the
great bIiyfh are continuous. You look into the
. . i . i .i
pu, ana mougu you see no actual name,
jet i s sides are in a state of constant in
candeFceni e; from the mouth of it there
rises np incessantly a dense cloud of steam;
and in the depths of it below you hear the
noise ot preparation for the outburst that is
next to come. Then you hear a sharper
crackle, and then without further warning
follows a loud explosion, which shoots into
the air a torrent ot white-hot missiles of every
Shape and size. So enormous are the foroes
at work that not only small pieue3 of stone
and Bulphur, such as you might carry away
as mementoes of your visit, but huge blocks
of mineral, each enough to load a railway
ballast wagon, and all in a state of per
fectly white heat, are tossed np as though
they were so many cricket balls. The ex
plosion lasts, perhaps, no longer that a
minute; and then there is a cessation of some
reconds, with the noise only ot internal prepa
ration ouce more, after which the explosion is
repeated. That was nothing to the almost
Btupifying din that was going on before us
moments when the daylight was over, and
the world below could no longer be distin
guished when we had nothing but the clear
Btarlight overhead, and were truly alone with
the mountain; when the varied coloring of
the ground had disappeared iu the darkuess,
-4 and nothing could be seen but the gleam of
the burning earth through the chinks at our
I feet, while the white-hot glaring ribbon of
I molten lava glided languidly down the moun-
J tain at onr tide, and beiore us was the Hashing
of the inner fire upon the cloud of vapor over
Langir g the abyss. Take all these together,
fend the scene is, indeed, rather different from
wbat you picture to yourselves as you clmly
read in your newspaper that Vesuvius is once
ggaiu in a ttate of eruption.
i i eyunn jum now ui me bireauiot luvawuicu
1 glides down the mountain. In the first place,
two peculiarities were observable in it. One
was ti e marvellous slowness of its motion.
Iu the early part of its descent the incline over
which it had to pass was precipitous; yet so
'slowly did this mass of liquid tire move within
i its bed that its current was only just peroep
Jtible. It seemed to be only just in motion.
Perhaps In Borne degree connected with the
game cohesion which this languor of movement
indicated was the other peculiarity of the lava
Vlreani the tenacity of its surface. In appear
ance, as we Btoou auove it, it was in a per
fectly liquid state; it looked at though vou
might rullle its surface with the point of your
I stick. Oreat, accordingly, was our Burprise at
I finding that even with the very greatest foroe
I available on the spot we could not make the
I glightest impression upon it. The largest
I juasseB of mineral that we could lift we dashed
1 down from above upon the burning stream, but
tbey simply bounded across its face, like a ball
Ypon a ileor, without producing the faintest
i
apparent indentation. Moreover, it is oom
monly supposed that lava ia always projected
from the crater, and the language commonly
UFed in description encourages the idea. "A
strnm of lava was seen to issue from the
craier" is the sort of phraseology with whloh
one is most familiar iu aooounts of eruptions
that took place in bygone days. I am not
snr that this is ever Btriotly aocurate; but
with the crater in anything like its present
form it hardly seems probable. It would take
a vast quantity of molten lava to fill that great
bowl of half a mile diameter, which I suppose
it would have to do before any of it would
run down the sides of the mountain. I saw
no indication that this ever took place. While
you are on the mouutain, the streams of lava
which have issued forth and cooled at the
several previous eruptions are quite distin
guishable from each other by their differ
ences of structure and color. We saw
many such; but I saw no indication of any
one of them having come over the lip of the
crater. In every single instance the source of
the lava stream seemed to have been lower
down the mountain. Certainly this wa3 the
case with the very fine one which burst out
just before our visit. As we stood npon the
lip of the crater it was below us throughout
its whole length. The lava was issuing from
a great fissure which it had made for itself
some distanoe down in the side of the cone.
The gnides hurried us away from the neigh
borhood of its source, because, they
said, it was quite possible another
orifice might open at any moment,
and then it would be all over wi'.h the pre.
sent spectators. The experience ot these
men clearly led them to regard this as the
normal mode of the emission of lava. In the
cafie actually before us it was being poured
forth evenly and continuously in a molten
state from the figure; it descended for a short
distance, in a broad stream, to a point where
a bifurcation took place, and then the burn
ing mineral went dowu to the base of the
mountain in two streams of perhaps twenty
feet each in width, looking in the darkness
like two broad ribbons of fire stretching down
into the plain.
