VOLCANO UNDER
FORTY FATHOMS

An active volcano, submerged 40
fathoms below the surface of the sea,
is emitting it's molten lava into the
waters of the Pacific ocean, according
to an announcement made by the hy-
geographic Office of the navy depart
ment in notice to mariners received
in THIS city yesterday.
The submarine volcano was discov-
cred by the British man of war Torch
while cruising in the south seas a few
weeks ago. 1t lies about 10 miles north
westward of Tongabatu island, in the
Tonga or Friendly group, its exact To-
cation being in latitude 20 degrees 80
minutes south, longitude 175 degrees
80 minutes west Although out of the
path of regular steamers, it is in To-
cation that might readily be visited by
sailing vessels and by interisland trad
ing ships.
This submerged volcano, which is
disturbing the waters for miles around
is believed to be the cause of the wide
area of discolored water recently re-
ported in that vicinity by Captain Per-
cy Holford of the steamer Tofua,
which was passing nearby in the Ton
ga group.
