A NEW CRATER.
PRESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, August 28. Further particulars of the recent volcanic eruption in Savaii (near Tonga), show that residents of Sofoln were awakened by earthquakes and reports like the firing of heavy guns. The whole place was lit up, and it was found that a fresh crater had broken out, from which flames were shooting up about 400 ft at intervale of ten seconds, and throwing out huge stones and lava. There was no damage to life or property.
