In another instance, the mercury rose to a hundred and ninety-one.

Our commander, being desirous of getting a nearer and good view of the volcano, set out with a party for that purpose.

But the gentlemen met with so many obstructions from the inhabitants, who were jealous of their penetrating far into the country, that they thought proper to return.
It is observable, with respect to the volcano of Tanna, that it is not on the ridge of the hill to which it belongs, but on its side.

Nor is that hill the highest in the country, for there are others near it of more than double its height.

It was in moist and wet weather that the volcano was most violent.
When our commander was ready to sail from Tanna, an event happened, which gave him much concern.
