SAMOAN VOLCANOES ACTIVE.



A report from the United States
naval station at Tutuila. Samoan
islands. under date OF November "a.
says; On November l the Samoans
at the western extremity of the group
ut the island OF Savaii were startled
by severe shocks OF earthquakes
which lasted throughout the night and
morning. Some OF the shocks were
severe enough to throw down con
crete church and wreck several 9TH
ers. Then fire was seen to burst forth
from several OF the mountain peaks,
and the people fed In terror to places
they considered safe. These extinct
volcanoes. now active, are toward the
west Of Savaii. Tradition speaks Of
a violent eruption about $50 years ago,
when that portion Of the country was
flowing stream OF molten lava, and
travellers have wondered at the extent
OF the eruption when they have had
to walk over the fields of waving rock
chilled as 1t flowed down the mountain
sides toward the sea.
The fires at present are observable
at four peaks of the mountain ridge !
which form the backbone of the
island, and so long as the disturbance
is confined to that portion of the coun-
try little harm can happen. 1t is
stated that the other parts Of Samoa,
being OF more recent origin than Sa- |
vail, will not be affected by the out |
burst. Previous to the present outburst |
the only eruption known to the people |
now living occurred between the |
Islands of Tau and Oloesega, in the
Manua portion of Samoa, about thirty
five years ago, when the sea became
greatly agitated, sand and rocks were
thrown up. and the island of Oloesega |
became devastated through the vapors
arising from the ocean where the dis
Lurbance took place. At the same time
millions OF fish were destroyed, but
the bank then formed which has q
1epth of water over 1t of thirty faith
pms, and is favorite fishing ground
or the people OF Manua now.
