Julian Monsarrat, manager of the ranch, who had sent a guide and horses to the Volcano House, hero joined the party as conductor, together with Mrs. Grabnm previously mention ed, 'Georgo W. Pnty of Pahala, and six natives, two of them guides and four helpers, including a young native woman named Wai kuala. Mr. Monsarrat serves a sub stantial lunch of moats, broad and butter, and tho richest of milk. Ainapo is left at 11 a. m., and tho mountain climb is fairly bo gun. It is always up, excepting a comparatively level forest tract of about two miles wide. A, halt is made at a water holo called Ani poahi, tho elevation being 5800 feet, or 1800 feet above tho lovol of tho Volcano Houso. Her o tho animals are refreshed, it being tho last place whore they can get water. "Water for thinking and cooking had been taken on tho pack animals.

I wanted to call out Artist Hitchcock, but oould not without danger of lynch ing for creating a disturhanco. In conformity with Conductor Monsarrat's decroo early rising was tho rule, ond sovoral woro at tho camp firo before tho sunriso. And what a sunriso! It may bo cruelly assorted that this witness has not seon many sunrises. But ho has seon a fow good ones. For instnnco, whon ho aroso botimos on Block Island in Long Island Sound ono morning, for tho espe cial purpose of seeing old Sol roll up out ol tno soa. And it was a grand success. But this sunriso on Mauna Loa beggared the vory fow sunrises I huvo seon out of tlio nearly sixteeu thousand that I mignt nave seon, u all Had been cloudless, nnd nil tho doscription of poets and painters that havo come before mo.

In tho out lino of this colehtial world, so ac curate woro tho shapes, a tenchor could impart n Know lodge of goo graphical terms. Thoro was a great bay, a sharply defined capo, a vast plain fading into infinity. In coloring thoro wns tho finest California gold, tho deepest crim son, shadings of jet black, roseate hues and whitest silver. I hate gush myself, but the foregoing sketch is vory subdued fact. Saddles at 8 a. m. Wednesday for tho terrible climb to the sum rait. Somowhero I think I 6uid "rugged trail." Unless some other ! term can no invented for tnis day's march, tho former remark must bo reserved for it. Soon after loavinc camn wo cross an aa flow. It is tho Alnha and Omeca I of a Bhowor of stono fences treat ed withearthquakos after striking. Tho trail is upstairs too, tho horso often havine to ascend his own height withm his length of dis tance. Then on to panoohoo and aa upstairs always excepting somo sharp desconts to got around huge hummocks. A sen of hills on tho' face of a moun tain. It should bo stated, for tho benefit of thoso who do not know that pahoohoo is smooth running lava whon cooled, having a Bhiny black crust from which its namo in Hawaiian is derived. Tho samo term is used for satin by tlm natives; whilo aa is pro duct ejected from volcanoes which looks exactly liko foundry and forgo clinkors,nnd it also flows but much slower than pahoehoa and with a rolling motion. Itis marvolouB how thoso cattlo driviug horses got over thos'o seas of lava. Besides tho climbing up and down, thoy have to pick thoir stopB often nlong ridges, not moro than threo inches wide, with fear ful slopes on either side, turn cornors so sharp that their bodies havo to bond laterally, and ovado jutting roeks so cIobo to tho trail that the ridor has to raise his f it is at Present. foot from the stirrups to avoid having it bruised. I thought I could do justice to equine moun tain climbers from havine? ridden ono ovor tho serrated ridge of tho Yvainnao range on Ualiu, but that oxporionco was a trifle compared with that of tho ascent and descent of Mnuna Loa. It would bo im possible to find horses that could discount Monsarrat's on this ex pedition. Thoy aro not plugs; oithor, in tho common parlance, but shapoly, woll-built auimals of food bizo, which no resident of Ionolulu need bo ashamed of riding through tho streets. Tho white horso I rodo only stumbled onco in tho journey both ways, and no shame to him. It was in taking n downward stop of fully eighteen inches from tho edge of n shattered mound upon a crevice ot looso rooks botwoon that and a lower ledge. Tho cavalcade winds with slow but sure stops botweon, and sometimes over tho crest of hills from ton to thirty feot above tho level of tho intor- voning valleys. Sometimes ono cauuot soo tho third or fourth rider ahead of him. It is a mar vel ovon how a trail could havo been picked out in this awful wildorness of rocks. From far up tho sido of tho mountain tho orator of Kilnuea, smoking with great vigor, the Puna and Kau coasts nud thoir silver rim of breakers, to South Point, and tho Pahala and adja cent plantations, are soon liko a mop spread at our " foot. Ono of our rests is taken whoro this can bo soon, nt nn elevation of 9G00 feot. Hero a cloud flying from tho northward along tho face o tho mountain roaches us. It brings first snow in feathery flakes, then hail of a small grain jHKilH too light to sting, than a regular blizzard of snow. Tho Bonsation is rather exhilarating than other wise, five days out from tho warm air of Honolulu. But what a marvol of a country I Tho air bo low is clear euourrh to soo the luxuriant tropical growth of sugar camo at Pahala from tho odgo of a snow storm in April that would ' not do discredit to November in tho Northern States or Canada. Off wo go again and carry tho snowstorm with us a long way up. Thore is yet moro than four thou sand foot, or noarly tho height of four Punchbowls to ascend. At the uoxt resting place the storm is ovor, but it has loft enough snow for a snowbnlling match. After a whilo tho horizon is marked every fow hundred yards by a precipitous and jagged ridge, giving a delusive appoaranco o tho summit being thus near. At last tho crowning ridgo is Bur mounted, but tho journey is by no means ovon "Wo havo to go down hill now a littlo way, and thoro is nothing but a Biuall extent of rocks below and tho Bky abovo to bo Been. Eocksj and aa at that, of tho coarsest kind. Onco only do wo got a glimpso of tho smoko from tho cmtor, thon a blinding snow storm boats unpiteously on our faces, thickening tho rare at mosphoro bo that wo havo to hoop close together to prevent anyone losing hinisolf. It seoins wo aro riding out into space, until a pole with nothing but tho storm be yond is soon. As thoro has not boon a Bign of vegetation for a thousand foot down, nor a single ovidonco of man's hand oxcepting artificial piles of stono on tho summit to mark the way, this polo has significance. Pas sing it it fow yards tho foremost riders halt and give a. cheer. Thoy havo reached a jumping off plnco, tho margin of a precipice formed ns of masonry without mortar, for sovoral rods in a straight lino. As they cheor thoy point into tho snow storm boyond tho brink, nnd n flams of firo is seen dimly through tho drift. It seemed as if wo should havo to wait for some timo before gotting n clear viow of tho volcano now that wo had cot to it through no slight haidbhip. "While peering into tho white voil w o become sensible that tho sudden cessation of rid ing exorcise had made ns bus coptiblo of fooling tho wintry blasts very sovoroly. Thoro is no shelter abovo tho level of tho wildorness of rock, and thoro has not been timo yet to pitch tho tent. But thoro is shelter from tho piti less winter bolow tho level. It is in a crack in tho rocks two yards from the vorgo of the precipice. Into this wd huddlo, it boing deep enough to protect all but tho head. In a fow minutes tho storm subsides and tho curtain ovor the crator becomes gradually trans parent. It had looked as if the feoblo-looking flamo first Been wnB part of bat a tamo volcanic dis play that needed clouds above it to givo it grandeur through their capacity of reflecting light in glorious imagos. Ab tho ecroon dissipated thoro woro sudden cries of delighted astonishment at what was revealed. About half way across tho crator a foun tain of firo was throwing u crimson ond goldon spray high in tho air. It was an upward cataract of spiro shaped massos, describing graceful curves as thoy descended in golden shower. They carried up with thorn black fragments in fearful velocity, tossing thorn off in parabolic line's. Thoro was ono spiro that shot up higher than tho othors, which diminished in size accordjng to distance from it, tho farthest one out resomblinc a small gushing spring. At the baso o tho fountain tho molten lava of doopo9t crimson surged and boiled with nn angry roar like a Btrong surf ou tho beach. The height of tho spray was changing constantly, but thoro was nover an inBtaut of intermission in its action. Its impetus was tre mendous, the thousands ofjeta boing drivon up with moro thnn rockot Bpood. Boforo tho cloud Continued on 5th rage. 1" 4 z -i. ' W . n h i : .,' m H t.
