reports a queer discovery for one
day Of the 1873 of her voyage. She
had been out many days without see
ing anything-on1y three ships were
seen on the entire trip-when one
morning In the Pacific the lookout
reported that he had sighted land

supposed to be. Nor could any be

The New Alaskan Island.
IN connection with an earthquake
which shook Unalaska and Dutch
Harbor on Sept. II. a new island has
been added to the Bogoslof group in
the Aleuthian Channel at a point
where q sounding last year by the
sociological Survey showed seventy
fathoms Of water. The island is In
the form Of . great round hill. close
TO Perry Peak, an islet that rose year
before last.
The famous volcano Bogosjlof in
me Aleuthian Islands has again been
IN eruption. For scores Of miles
around unimak Island. where Mount
Shishaldin has been in eruption for
nve months, the sea has been covered
WITH ashes and pumice. In one case
me san OF a schooner was set on fire
oy the hot ashes. The ups and
Downs OF this unstable bit of Ameri-
can territory form one Of the most
nvely geological stories of modern
times since the first known island on
this site rose from the sea in 1896
