Cotopaxi

Calling on Church lately, we found him finishing his Cotopaxi for Mr. Lenox.

At two o'clock precisely, just after we had left the steamer, the starting bell rang, and the 'Cotopaxi' steamed away.

Cotopaxi is only 25 m. distant, and the town has suffered repeatedly from eruptions.

If I can make you understand those words, you will see why volcanos must be in general of the shape of Cotopaxi.

Whymper states that there is a prevalent idea that Cotopaxi and a volcano called Sangai act as safety-valves to each other.
