Thousands of acres were covered with beds of lava; and streams of it had run down and altered the course of a rivulet near the foot of the mountain. Some of these beds were of great age, but the majority showed signs of having been in a liquid state within a very few months of my visit. Large trees and masses of rock were embedded in many of them; but at the present time, not a vestige of vegetation grew on the sides of the mountain or anywhere near its base.
