BOILING POOL OUTBURST
WH AKAREWAREWA ACTIVITY WATER FALLS ON BRIDGE TBT TELEGRAPH OWN CORRESPONDENT] ROTORUA, Sunday A most unusual burst of thermal activity occurred at W hakarewarewa at mid-day yesterday, when a boiling pool near the Paurenga Bridge, at the entrance to the village, shot to a height of 20 feet. It covered the bridge with boiling water and enshrouded it in steam.
Fortunately no one was on the bridge at the time and no damage was done. The older Maori people in the pa have no recollection of this pool ever before rising to any considerable height.
