Durma; her recent trip to the Smith 'Sea Islands, the Union Company’s steamer Atna paid a visit to the island of Famia Lai, situate about 40 miles north-west of Vavnu, in the Tongan Group. The vessel was taken close in in order to allow the passengers to obtain a view of the volcano in eruption. It was found that although the volcano was st'll active and emitting columns of smoke, the excessive 'gctivity of a few weeks ago has almost disappeared. Captain Wall's then endeavoured to take his vessel around the ish’iid, but found that on tho western side, where the chart shows from ISO to 270 fathoms, the water had shoaled for about two miles off shore, which was probaVv due to 4he recent volce.nic upheaval on the island.
“E” is used more frennently than any other letter in the English alphabet.
