Singapore. — The terrible scenes
which prevailed when the volcano of
Kalut, in the Island of Java, burst
Into eruption on May 30, destroying 20
villages and causing a loss of life es
timated at 50,000, have been vividly de
scribed by Miss E. \V. Cranen, who
was staying in the village of Rlitar at
that time and recently arrived here
from Spurabaya. The first symptoms
of the coming eruption, according to
Miss Cranen, were sounds like thun
der and vivid flashes in the'sky. Enor
mous boulders were flung from the
volcano into fixe lowlands around it

for immense distances. There was
pitch darkness, owing to a rain of
ashes.
Then came tbe warning to the oc
cupants of Blitar that a river of lava
and mud was approaching. The riv
er, according to Miss Cranen, was ten
miles wide and four feet deep and ran
for three hours, covering railroad sta
tions, burying locomotives and cars
destroying every house In many vi'
lages, and at the same time catchirg
and literally burning alive thousands
of natives.
After the volcano subsided, Miss
Cranen declares, the arms and legs of
victims were seen protruding through
the mud and lava all over Kediri dis- .
trict, in the vicinity of Kalut. Fifty
thousand were reported dead, hut thou

RED SWEATER SAVED LIVES
New York Youths Probably Will Never
Again Go on Outing Without
Such a Garment.
New York.—One red sweater saved
two young men from drowning in the
Atlantic ocean two miles out from
Rockaway Point.
Frederick Swanson, twenty years
old, of 3510 Farragut road, and John
Dill, twenty-four years old, of 1110 Pat
terson street, Brooklyn, left Slieeps
head bay at two o’clock in a canoe fit
ted with a sail. A stiff breeze caught
them after they had gotten well under
way, and as the seas rose higher the
frail craft was overturned. The young
men battled their way hack to the over
turned canoe and clung to it. Then
they had an idea. They swam to whert
the red sweater belonging to Swanson
was floating on the water, placed it on
the end of a paddle and took turns at
waving the glistening garment in the
nir while holding to the tiny boat.
Several times, the youths said, ttiey
believed they had attracted the atten
tion of persons passing in larger boats,
but it was not until two hours later
that a motor launch occupied by
Charles Heuthwohl, insurance broker,
of 650 Macon street, Brooklyn, and
Hnrry E. Heisted of 758 East Seven
teenth street, Brooklyn, both members
of the Sheepsliead Bay Yacht club, saw
them and went to their assistance. The
two young men were placed on board
the small boat.
