Whe ' Prof. Hill turned South Iowa i St. Pierre, Mr. Kavanangh com tinned on past Morne Rouge. His route seems to have been along 1 or near the Cale Casso divide, lie , says he descended from Morno ! Rouge into the valley between Morne Rouge and Monte Pelee. This valley was deeply strcwr with allies. Mr. Kavunaugh was guided by an aged tiegress to where an old foot-path once le?l # t r? Lake Palmiste, near the 6dmsuit of the crater. There an iron cross, twenty feet high, was buried in ashes to within a foot of its top. Before him stretched upward the mountain i slope, covered with ashes, which , soaked by the heavy rains and , baked by tlio sun and volcano heat j looked like a cement sidewalk. ! The whole mountain top was j shrouded in smoke. I Forgetful of the explosion of the previous night aud the awful suddeness of the outbursts, and I ' ! tempted by the seemingly easy i ascent, he continued upward and i made photographs and rough , sketches Mr. lvavanaugh found the valley tilled with ashes, and two great rifts, which he was i afraid to approach. At 6 o'clock | in the evening he turned back, ' reaching Morne Rouge ut abont 0 o o ! o'clock. He had made no new observations, and realized his danger only the next morning, when oc- ! | curred the greatest outburst since !
