of the great crater at eleven (8
o'clock, a beautiful panorama
was spread out before my eyes.
The surface of the emerald green
lake stands many feet above the
level which it held in 1908,
James says in fact that the water
seems to high to be
is now higher than it was before
the eruption of 1902, judging by
his recollection of the old marks within
the crater, but such an opinion can
not have much value on account
of the changes in the appearance
of the crater caused by the eruption
now occupies fully the bottom
covering
of the crater, the water, the talus slopes,
and ridges and flats that were visible
in 1903 and 1908 except for the upper-
most parts of the debris cones at the
base of the vertical northeastern walls.
