AN ACTIVE VOLCANO.
SUBMARINE LIGHTNINGS. TERRIBLE ERUPTION PROBABLE. isY Ti:r,K(ir.Ai-ii —prkss association. AUCKLAND, December 6. An Apia correspondent writes that the volcano on Savaii continues to throw out enormous quantities of lava. It is highly probable that a large area under the sea is being thrust upwards. A trader who lately passed over this sectkn of the sea bottom was astonished to note during the night time that lightning was apparently playing about on the ocean bottom some 40 fathams or so beneath his boat. Some of the sea water which came into the boat was so hot as nearly to scald the crew. Apparently the line of volcanic activity runs from west to east. It is not at all unlikely that a new and perhaps very terrible eruption will break out under the sea at the point indicated.
