Volcanic phenomena on Hawaii
History of the Eruption The volcanic phenomena observed on Hawaii and described in this paper relate to the recent eruption from Mauna Loa and the presence of ash beds. On June 20,1899, a very distinct earthquake shock was felt at Wailiilii, my temporary residence, 23 miles from Hilo, 8 from Kilauea, and 24 in a right line from the place of outburst.
