On the 18th instant I entered Sunda Strait, passing east of Thwart-way Island. This island had been reported to be split by the eruption into several portions. This is incorrect. The island is intersected by low valleys in several places, these being covered with tall trees did not show so prominently formerly as they do now. The whole of the vegetation having been swept away by the tidal wave the island at a short distance off is apparently divided, the low necks joining the higher portions being only visible on close approach.
