Beer eruption

[jfn111]

I brewed a Surley Furious clone and the second day started seeing the normal fermenting bubbles. The next morning there looked to have been a minor eruption with sediment in the airlock and spillover on top of the conical fermenter. The airlock must have partially dislodged. I cleaned everything out of the airlock but haven't seen any sign of fermentation since.
Can this batch be saved? Should I add more yeast?

You haven't seen any bubbles in the airlock since you replaced it? You likely have another leak somewhere; it is definitely fermenting.

It isn't good, but, your batch is probably fine.

Yeah, you can't judge fermentation by the lack of bubbles in an airlock. A small leak is all it takes.
But a (foamy) krausen layer is surely a positive sign! It spewing out the airlock is testimony of something big happening.

I just went through that with an IPA that I made:
