When Vulcan Roared

These pictures, taken in May when the two volcanoes (Vulcan and Matupi) were erupting at Rabaul, have been kindly supplied by Pastor A. J. Campbell, of the Seventh Day Adventist Mission in New Guinea. They show: —Upper left: A native hurriedly escaping across the bay from his gardens near Matupi (in background). Lower left: The dense cloud of steam and ashes pouring from Vulcan, soon after the first eruption, as seen from the S.D.A. mission station on Matupi Island. Right: Vulcan at close quarters, taken a few minutes after the blowing up. The smoke cloud was filled with countless huge stones. In the foreground is part of the Mission compound.
