The book is called "Life in Hawaii" by Titus Coan.
There is much about his missionary work, but also descriptions of lava flows in Puna as well as one that almost reached Hilo.
The section on the April 2nd earthquake is in Chapter 22:
The shaking continued all night, and most or all of the Hilo people spent the night out of doors, fearing to remain in their houses. Some said they counted a thousand shocks before morning, and so rapid were these shocks, that the earth seemed to be in a continuous quiver, like a ship in a battle.
