Eruption Lasted Several Days
But Was Les3 Violent
Than In 1913.
Sydney, Australia, Dec. 16 (Delayed
reports have brought news of a fresh
volcanic outbreak on the island of
Ambrlm, In the New Hebrides group.
a spot which experienced a most de
structive volcanic eruption in Decern'
Der. 1913.
The Rev. A. T. Waters, a missionary
stationed on the island of Coa, about
ou mues irom Ambrlm, writes that on
me nrst re days of October last
smoke and volcanic ash clouded the
sky so thickly that the sun gave only a
weird light like the moorr, and It even
tually became so dark that the people
on coa nad to light lamps. Every,
thing became gritty with ashes In.
doors, and out-of-doors they were so
thick that the sea could not be seen
from the Mission house, which ordi
narlly afforded a fine view of the
water.
There was for a time some Danlc
among the natives of Oba who thought
one of the mountains on their own
island was in eruption, but the
source of the trouble was later traced
to Ambrlm, and It appeared as though
the entire island was burning. The
missionary's letter, did not say that
anyone ventured to visit Ambrlm dur
ing the eruption, and the extent of the
damage or loss of life, if .any, is un
known.
The previous eruption at Ambrlm
In 'December, 1913, was reported to
have cost the lives of 600 natives, and
to have completely altered the face
and coast line of the island. Accord
ing to the natives of Oba the recent
trouble appeared to have been still
worse than the previous eruption.
Little is known as to the interior of
Ambrim, which has been visited but
rarely by white men. No census has
ever been taken, but among the coast
settlements there are a number of
mission stations, mainly Roman Cath
olio and Presbyterian, whose members
had a narrow escape in the previous
eruption.
The New Hebrides island have been
controlled since 1906 by a joint com'
mission of British and French officials
under the supervision of two resident
commissioners, one appointed by each
nation.

I Only the other day a nurse called on a Terr sick man, and as soon as
looked at him she saw the look of starration in his eyes. After she
d made him comfortable she went out and bought eggs, and it was
Mul to see the eagerness with which he partook of the nourishment

I A fsmily was recently found b? a jDurath visiting nurse destitute, suf
g from hunger and cold. The family was huddled in two small
ras. The fatherj suffering with tuberculosis, was sent to a sanatorium.
members of the family were examined, and two of the children were
oind to be sanatorium patients. They hate all been provided with nec
"WJ clothing, made possible by the Christmas Seal fund, and are now

,,d 'eft A sleeping porch was built for him out of the Christmas Seal

U lso use the porch when they return home.
