PERIL OF VOLCANIC WAVES
Few Dangers More Dreaded by ssII
ors Thar Seismic Disturb

Occasionally there appears a great
wave sweeping across the calm sur
face Of the ocean in the fairest
weather and when no wind is blow
ing. There are few perils Of the
sea to be more dreaded than such a
wave Fortunately these are very
rare, vet more than once ship has
encountered one.
The cause of these singular waves
is believed to be some disturbance
Of a volcanic natuY at the bottom of
th. sea. Volcanoes exist in the
ocean as well as on land; in fact,
nearly all the volcanoes known are
~ or near the sea. coast. Ii ls easy
10 see that an upheaval at the sea
bottom NAV start,a billow at the
surface Of the water, when we re-
member that huge waves have been
sent clear across the Pacific ocean TO
san Francisco by volcanic shakings
Of the earth on the borders Of Asia.
The world under water Is not
ONLY three times as extensive as that
which is covered only with air, but
il possesses many Of the same great
natural phenomena on a scale which
is perhaps proportionately vast, but
Of whose existence we are made
aware only by such indications as
the volcanic ocean waves that ships
OCCASIONALLY encounter.
