The eruption of an unnamed mountain on the south end of Akutan Island, a thousand miles southeast of here was reported Friday by residents far to the westward, who said it appeared likely that lava would overspread the entire island. The top of the mountain appeared to have been blown off and !ava is flowing two-thirds of the way down the mountainside. Nothing is known of the fate of those who may have been living on the island. Akutan, a village on the northern shore of the inland, has a whaling station and cattle ranch, with probably twelve inhabitants at this time of year. ; Heavy ash from the volcano clouded the sky over adjacent islands in the upper Aleutian chain and traces of Lash iave been seen here. I There if a theory that the S. S. Aleutian, which sank i in Uyak Bay. Kndiak Island.
