Feu t<lo-France. Mat linhjue,
May '2'J, Noon. - The crater of
Monto L'clcc has been approached
: within one mile This feat w *
accomplished Tuesday ut'tern ion
by George .J. Ivav ?n iu<rb. .1 on
attache! newsj?a|>ei* man, who ha
! accompanied Prof. Robert T. Ilil
t.lie United States govornmcat go
j ologist on his expedition. 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 !
' Monte Pelee's first erupti in.
