Mrs. Newman in company with five newspaper reporters made the ascent she speaks of: This old volcano of Mauna Loa has been spouting two weeks. Its a journey of 200 miles by sea, thirtyeix by carriage, nineteen by horse, seven or eight by foot, over lava crustslike glass, to awfu heights. Several men have been injured none died, but many suffered greatly. Camped two nights in scow. Mary f SDMICHMHUMMMOtMOMMMMMOS MMMMMIMMMMHMMMMM - " ' . .Z1.A..'r..'....'W""'" .

The sea for 1000 miles toward San Francisco for days was buriei in smoke and for three days captains could not take bearings by sun or star for there uere none visible. Here, 200 miles away, while the south erly wind prevailed, the mountain tops, yea, the valleys and the sea, were only defined by dimest outline. No sun, no stars, dense black sulphurous haze. The lungs were oppressed, and it gave an effect of awfulness to everything. We could scarcely talk above a whisper and an indescribable gloom shut in the cheariest heart.
