VESUVIUS IN ERUPTION
ACCUMULATION OF RAINWATER,
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) ROME, 2Sth November.
Vesuvius is in eruption, and a cataract of lava has invaded the northern slopes. At present it is from four to six yards broad and six feet deep, and extends almost 1500 yards from the crater, which is hurling great fragments of incandescent material into the air, accompanied by shattering explosions. The observatory professor states that the lava stream is moving too slowly to reach Tcrzigno. The outbreak is due to an accumulation of rainwater in the crater. The professor predicts that the mountain will tie moderate in a few days.
