The eruption began April 26 from a fissure ripped rom the side of the 13,075-fc0t volcano at the 0.300- foot elevation.

In a brilliant display several 600- foot fountains spewed a great stream of quick-running fluid which later turned into a slower movinlt wall of lava 60 feet high. This wall are into the forest a few miles from the Hilo water suvvly.

On May 2 aircraft dropped bombs. The bombing, following a proced- ure taken in the i935 eruption, fin- ally. closed off the flow. which errent-ually stooped entirely on May

The original outburst of lava was at the northern end of Mokuawa- Oweo crater. The glare reflected against the clouds provided a. mall- niflcent slight to the blacked-out
