MARINE DISTURBANCE
FAREWELL SPIT INCIDENT NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS P.A. WELLINGTON, Feb. 11. The lighthouse keeper at Farewell Spit reported this morning that there was no sign of any further development in connection with the disturbance in the water some two miles off the Spit which occurred on Monday afternoon. The colour of the water is back to normal, and no sign of any sandbank was to be seen at low tide this morning. Large numbers of mussels, however, were cast up on the beach during the night, which seems to confirm that a disturbance of the sea bed did take place. The lighthouse tender Matai is to take soundings in the area in the course of the next few days.
