RIVER OF LIGHT,
Strange Phenomenon Witnessed in
the Indian Ocean.
From the London Mail.

from tne LNilCOn Mail.
In reference to the remarkable phenome-
non of a white sea- which was Witnessed
by some of the crew Of the Peninsalar and
Oriental Companys steamer India during
her last homeward voyage two correspond
ents have addressed us on this subject
William Gardner of Dalveen. Malcolm
road, Wimbledon, says that when he was
chief engineer of the British India Steam
Navigation Company's steamer Booldana
similar phenomenon TO that reported in
the Daily Mail was witnessed from that
vessel. 1t occurred in the year 1880.
ut happened he says, about II 30 on q
starlight night ! was awakened by the
Junior deck officer on duty, who brought a
message to me from the captain. asking
why the speed of the ship had been re-
duced, as she was now going a good knot
less than the speed ordered. At the same
time the officer told me of wonderful
sight on the sea. / jumped out of my bunk
in my pajama and was soon able to
satisfy the captain that the engines We're
still going at rate that should give the
speed required, but that / was sure that
the condition of the water must have some
thing 10 do with the speed actually at
tained.
THE sea for at least a mile broad and
many miles in length was bright and sill
very whiteness, caused by a brilliant phos-
phorescence. so brilliant that although the
night was dark it was quite easy to recog-
nize each others faces by the light as we
leaned over the rail looking at it. The
whole thing was well defined at the edges
and seemed like "a river of light in the
sea-
Needless to say, we got all the passen-
gers on deck to see the marvellous sight,
and the watch below was also called for
the same purpose. Being of a somewhat
inquiring disposition, / got a bucket of the
brightness and put it aside till daylight,
and on examining it then found ii was full
of little jellified fishes, about one inch long
and a quarter of an inch thick, by three
quarters of an inch deep, and these swan
on their edges. Each little fish was highly
phosphorescent and as they were packed
closely together I'm the sea- being fully
one foot at least deep, the myriads emit
ted a combined light that accounted for
the unusual sight we saw and the mass of
them had obstiucted the passage of the
ship on the surface of the water.
Probably the recurrence of this phenom-
enon may be accounted for in the same
manner. / will only add that the following
forenoon was remarkable for the number
of whales that were seen at no great dis
tance from the ship, but whether this
could be connected with the mass of little
fishes we had passed through must be a
matter of conjecture"

DIsoREDIT CONSPIRACY THEORY.
Navy Department OfiiciaIs Discuss
TrOubIc " iIh Bufaio's Machinerx

rUmOr was sent out trcm Newport. r
l.. last night u the effect that the trouble
on the cruiser Buffalo was due to a de!ib-
crate attempt Of some one on board 20
wreck the machinery. The first intimation
that there has been anything like an or
ganized conspiracy to prevent the sailing
of the cruiser Buffalo reached the Navy
Department through the newspapers, and
II must be said. the officials give very little
credeHce TO this story.
They say that il Is frequently the case
when a vessel is hurried away from the
navy yard after hasty repairs. as was the
Buffalo J1inss go wrong to such an extent
a. 10 excite suspicion in some minds that
evil-miuded persons are responsible. The
finding of some small articles belonging to
sailors kits inside of the condensers is not
Of itself fact UuexplainabIe except upon
the theory of conspiracy to damage the
skip
Such things have often been left in boil
ers and cylinders by careless wOrkmen.
The bad condition Of the valves, which has
been referred to an evidence Of tamPer-
ing. is also explainabIe by the fact that
the machinery Of the Buffalo suffered very
much. not only from neglect, but from bad
handling. during the several years she lay
at anchor in Brazilian waters.
