Both Indians live in Lower California near
the Colorado river, and say that early Thursday
morning they expected something very unusual
to occur, as the hundreds volcanoes, some thirty
miles distant, had suddenly become very active
and turbulent, throwing up immense quantities
of lava and a black smoke like vapor. The pe-
culiarity of the eruption, not only in the force,
but the change from mud volcanoes, was some-
thing that appalled the entire Cocopah tribe.
The volcanoes continued to increase the violence
of the upheaval until the noise when at a dis-
tance of thirty miles was simply deafening.
