The article focuses on tales of mighty eruption of Mauna Loa. Upon the arrival of the Coronet in Japan, it was learned that an enormous tidal wave had recently devastated more than thirty towns and villages in the north, washing away over five thousand houses and destroying nearly thirty thousand persons Detailed accounts of this appalling disaster are still hard to obtain, for the few survivors in the devastated district, are even now too dazed to give clear descriptions of the horror which befell them. But it is known that a seismic wave, rising to a height of almost sixty feet, swept across the land, carrying everything in its course with irresistible force.
