left. It was too far for me to recognise anyone there, but afterwards
I learned that Ogilvy, Stent, and Henderson were with others in this
attempt at communication. This little group had in its advance
dragged inward, so to speak, the circumference of the now almost

greenish smoke came out of the pit in three distinct puffs, which
drove up, one after the other, straight into the still air.
