Page "Taal Volcano" Paragraph 32

:: On May 15, 1754, at about 9 or 10 o ' clock in the night, the volcano quite unexpectedly commenced to roar and emit, sky-high, burning flames intermixed with glowing rocks which, falling back upon the island and rolling down the slopes of the mountain, created the impression of a large river of fire.

During the following days there appeared in the lake a large quantity of pumice stone which had been ejected by the volcano.

Part of these eject had also reached the hamlet of Bayuyungan and completely destroyed it.
