When we visited the volcano it was in a state of 151 . We stood near tip of the 152 on an irregular plane. It was heaped 153 stones and cinders and 154 rocks which had been regularly 155 out from the volcano. During the volcanic eruption, large quantities of rocks and stones were hurled out from the summit in terrible 156 .
