The hugh column of smoke , dust, steam, lava and rock was flying into the air believe around 20,000 feet..-1the altitude is not much over 2,000 feet so you see there must have been some force behind it. The great uprush of hot air, steam, dust and rock from the bowels of the earth made an almost continual chain of lightening among the great clouds of materials. The explosions sounded like thunder which was hard to tell from the regular electrical mumble and soon great masses of tufa would fly into the air d and fall on the sides of the mountain. It was heads up for me all the time I was there. One cement bridge on an old road had been completely pierced by falling stones which left only parts of the bridge spanning the chasm. The lava flow was still hot. Every now and then bits would fall off and sound like falling gravel. The edges, though not red, would still burn anything that it touched and so smoke was issueing from the sides of the flow. The lava had run down the mountain like a great river consuming everything as it passed. At night the lava rivers would glow like forest fires and the great explosions at the top of the moun tain would shoot fire into the air many thousands of feet. The mountain has been becoming more and more active recently. It ran over a couple of months before the final eruption making great rivers of lava which coursed about half way down the side of the mountain. While Vesuvius was erupting, just after the lava stopped flowing, I climbed the mountain to within a few hundred yards of the crater. I didn't get any closer as bad as I would have liked to, because rocks as big as jeeps were being thrown out over the cone and rolling down the mountain and rock and dust was raining down near the cone . We were on the windward side of the mountain so most of the rocks d. Miss Connie Smith is home after attending school in St. George. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Smith of Greenville.

For about one month, there was a great glow in the sky over the mountain with periodic splashing ovter of the lava. Then came the great final eruption. It seemed that the whole mountain had turned into fire. Flames were shooting into the air thousands of feet. In the evening and after dark the people in the Naples area could see tha large molten stones fall like giant meteors from the center of the explosions. Then came the river of fire Down two sides of the mountain they came. You know, Dad, Vesuvius is covered with vineyards and gardens, though it is all rock, so the the poor Italians gathered wood and all the valuable things they could as the river approached as a great wall 150 feet thick at the front of a mile wide and at a rate of 300 feet per minute. It would crumble buildings Delta Livestock Auction DELTA, UTAH PHONE Elwin L. Pace, Owner 864-236- 1 Phone 864-229- Remember the Hog Sale Every Tuesday like paper. One steel bridge crumbled like it was made of matches. In one town the inhabitants put a large image of the Virgin Mary in front of the river. Her hand was stretched out as if to stop the approach but apparently her virginity could do nothing about it. She was rescued at the last minute as the river crumbled a school house. The heat was so intense that you could not get closer than 100 yards from it. Ater the initial flow of the lava great billows of steam and dust poured from the crater. Officials say that it rose to 20, 000 feet. It is impossible to describe the amounts that must kave blown out. I think the volcanologist said that it was something like a billion cubic yards a minute. It's falling was crushing roofs and making certain localities untenable. Road crews were clear ing the ash from the highways like we would snow. You have to see those things to believe. I think that I was very lucky to have seen this once in a generation happening. 1 12 Noon Smokey Says: f its time for 4TCHsswtsHj m wickers itrr& biro ND li aSJCiK. 4!,' I 5"- Please prevent a Forest Fire!
