A BOILING SEA.
SECOND EDITION
+ [By Telegraph.] Auckland, Juno 8. When the steamer Tairoa was off Cape Colville, on Monday forenoon, a remarkable plieiu'-uonon was observed about a mile from Channel Island. Some thirty yards from the vessel the water for a space of eighty feet in diameter was boiling up like a spring, throwing up mud and discoloring the water, which had the appearance of being worked upon by violent commotion underneath, extending away for a great length. From this centre there was a yellow streak, the whole being not unlike the shape of a comet. Captain Anderson intends to give that vicinity a wide berth in future. The second mate of the Eingarooma, which passed the place about two hours after the Taiaroa, also noticed the abnormal condition of the water. He liked it so little that he kept the vessel away until he had communicated with his superior officer.
