Foster,visiting botanists, iu spite of the con-tinued activity of the crater. Theyascended the mountain from the lee-ward side and found the journey verydifficult on account of the erosion whichhas taken place since the early erup-tions. They found the crater morefunnel-shaped than had preceding vis-itors, but with boiling muddy water inthe bottom. Hot ashes, which weresteaming profusely, were piled severalhundred feet high against the walls ofthe pit. Coarse gravel and fragmentsof rock covered the exterior slopes ofthe cone.
