The Eruption

This aerial photo., taken soon after the "black-out,” shows the town under its grey pall of pumice and ashes. The newly-arisen Vulcan voIcano is seen, smoking in the upper corner. The black masses in Front of Vulcan evi dently are pumice, floating on the water there is no land there. The other active volcano, Matupi, is out of sight, around Matupi Island (the point in the left upper corner). [Copyright photo— Block by courtesy of "Sydney Mail”]
