Ascent of Ngauruhoe.
THE VOLCANO QUIETENING. Auckland, March 14. d’Esterre and G. Borne, two pressmen, reached the summit of Ngauruhoe early yesterday morning. The latter part of the ascent was made in a fog. The crater was obscured by steam and fog, but occasionally a momentary glimpse was obtained of the centre i f activity. There was a continual roar from the steam vents on the floor of the crater, and every now and then showers of stones and sand. A portion of the wall of the crater seemed to be missing, but whether it had actually been blown out or whether that portion was still there and concealed by the billows of steam it waß impossible to say. No lava streams were seen. On comparison of the activity during the past four days it is evident that the volcano 'is quietening.
