A river of boiling mud and lava which overwhelmed the village of Blitar where Miss Cranen was staying she says, was ten miles wide and four feet deep. The first symptoms of the coming eruption, Mis3 Cranen said, N were sounds like thunder and vivid flashes in thes ky. Enormous boulders were flung from the volcano into the low lands around it for immense dis tances. There was pitchy darkness owing to a rain of ashes. Then carne warning to the occuants of the hotel at Blitar that the river of larva and mud was aprpoaching. "We were almost besidc ourselves as to what to do to avoid a hideous end," she said. Twenty four of those stay ing at the hotel cscaped death in the boiling mud by fleeing aboard a motor car driven by the wife of the Assistant Resident Commis- wiwr, .-.
