RIVER IN OCEAN
A STRANGE SCENE. (United Press Association—By Electric Teleg. -ph—Copyright). LONDON, i Oct. 4. The Astronomer Royal, Sir Frank Dyson, on arriving at Southampton by the ‘ “Euripedes,” told a strange tale of the behaviour of the Souih Equatorial Current. The ship had steamed close to the edge of the current, which was doing a good three knots an hour, but at the edge it was quite stationary, and was hanked high with seaweed and marine growths, over which there flew thousands of flying fish. It was like steaming along a river though the river was hundreds of miles wide.
Captain Bowman corroborated the statement of Sir Frank Dyson, saving that though he had many times traversed the current, he had never seen the same sight.
