CURIOUS DISTURBANCES AT LAKE TAUPO.
[per press ASSOCIATION ]
WELLINGTON, This day. Remarkable disturbances in two of the largest lakes in the colony have been reported to Dr Hector. A letter from the officer in charge of the A.C. camp at Taupo states that last month a schooner was moored partly out of the water at the jetty near the outflow of the lake and shortly after noon the water was seen to retire and leave the vessel high and dry. The water returned to its normal level in ten or fifteen minutes. At another place where the outflow approaches the rapids two men of the A.G. Force were bathing in a warm pool near the. river bank at a higher level tha,n the- water flowing from the lake. They noticed the cold river water suddenly flowing into their warm pool, the river sinking to its usual level in a few minutes. The water of. the lake must have been effected to about 20 inches. 'lt is thought this was duo to volcanic action.
