take from Madeira to Brazil. Only
within the past half century has it
been sounded and its strange phe-
nomena reported.
One investigator declared that he
saw the sea about half mile from his
vessel suddenly disturbed. For about
two minutes ii boiled up violently as
from subterranean spring. Through
out the day there were observed great
patches of discolored water which had
exactly the appearance of extensive
shoals.
These and similar phenomena are
frequently observed in this part OF
the ocean. Often a ship reports that
she has experienced a violent shock
similar to- that which is felt when IL
rock is struck. Sometimes great
rumbling is heard, like that of heavy
chain running through the hawse
pipes, and the vessel quivers like
leaf in the wind. At another time. in
smooth water, a vessel has been
known to heel over suddenly, as if she
had run or a sand bank.
Before this part Of the ocean was as
thoroughly sounded and surveyed as 1t
is now these phenomena were attrib-
uted to the presence of unmarked sand
banks and rocky shoals, and the old
charts were marked accordingly. But

somewhat to find that he got no sound

shocks.
1t is now generally believed that sub
marine earthquakes are the true cause
