ington, of the United States steamer Alert.
in his report to the Navy Department lust

cruise In the Pacific, south of Fort Sizio and
Boom Islands, on approaching the island of
San Alesandro his attention was called to q
strange appearance on the water. Appa.
rently ten miles distant volume of vapor
was rising, as though some vessel was blow
ing off steam. This was followed by the an
pearance of breakers, and while some of the
officers were discussing the probable cause
some thinking 1t was the blowing and breach
| ing of a school of whales, the question was
definitely settled by the uphesval of an i'm
mense black mass As the ship approached
she submarine volcano, the black masses
thrown up were distinguished as mud
| and ashes. The upheavals were ac.
eompanied by dull reports, like
those from submarine mines, and by an odor
| OF sulphur. Several days were spent in max
| ing reconnaissance. Commander Hunting
| ton says he did not think it prudent to ap
preach the volcano in the Alert, but a boat
| was lowered and pulled within hundred
/ yards of it. A reef or island is in process of
| formation there. Soundings were obtained
N from five to twenty-nine fathoms. The
water was full of ashes and mud, and some
| of this and one specimen Of the bottom were
brought on board. The volcano bears north
"A degrees west, distant So miles from the
Landing place on the southwest end Of the
/ island. At night flames were noticed issuing
from the volcano. The report of Commander
Huntington has been referred to Captain De
Kraft, in charge Of the photographic section
of the Bureau Of Navigation, and the change
