SULPHUR ISLAND
Lies in latitude 27° 5' north, and longitude 128° 25' east.
An accurate representation of it is given as a frontispiece.
We attempted to land, but the surf broke every where
so high against the rock that this was impossible. There is
a crater on the left side with white smoke issuing from it;
this has a strong sulphuric smell. The sides of the crater
are stratified. The south end of the island is about four or
five hundred feet high, and is formed of a dark dingy red
rock distinctly stratified; at several places it is cut vertically
by great dykes, which being more durable than the
strata which they intersect, stand out from the face of the
cliffs to a considerable distance.
