THE MILKY SEA.
A Curious Sight Occasionally Wit
messed In Tropical Waters.

OF the many sights witnessed in the
oceans of the globe. one Of the most
curious and most weird is that de-
scribed by sailors as THE milky sea-"
ships being surrounded for several
hours by water that appears to be
snowy Wilderness. The spectacle is re-
stricted to the darkness of night and
rare occasions. and, while it is limited
mainly to the warmer waters of the
tropical belt. it appears to be more
common in the Indian ocean than in the
Atlantic and Pacific. From the white
water the light is so strong that ordi-
nary newspaper print can be read on
board ship, but the scene all round is
of an awe inspiring description. The
horizon is blotted out. sea and sky seem
luminous fog. which. like Il London fog
robs the observer of the sense of dis
lance and direction. the deck being lit
up with CHASTITY. shadowless light
Once off the west coast of South Amer
lea bucket of the white water emp
tied back into the sea resembled molten
lead. This curious sight has interested
scientific investigators, but While it is
no doubt related to the many phos
phOrescent displays common al sea
coming of this particular manifestation
or of the singular atmospheric effects
resulting from it.
