One of the chief peculiarities about them, besides their splendour, was the fact that they consisted chiefly of "afterglows" that is, an increase of light and splendour after the setting of the sun, when, in an ordinary state of things, the grey shadows of evening would have descended on the world.
The dust thus sent into the sky was of "ultra-microscopic fineness," and it travelled round and round the world in a westerly direction, producing those extraordinary sunsets and gorgeous effects and afterglows which became visible in the British Isles in the month of November following the eruption; and the mighty waves which caused such destruction in the vicinity of Sunda Straits travelled not once, but at least six times round the globe, as was proved by trustworthy and independent observations of tide-gauges and barometers made and recorded at the same time in nearly all lands including our own.

He saw clearly that he could not have endured, even to the present hour, without every experience life had shown him especially without the difficult ones.
