Extract

Shortly after reading “Volcanic Eruptions in Iceland” (the “Scotsman,” May 21), and “An Appeal for Iceland” (the “Times” July 1), I made a trip to Arctis, partly with a view of inspecting and inquiring into the last outbreaks. Perhaps your energetic Society may not be unwilling to have an unprejudiced account of what was seen and heard.
