EQUATORIAL CURRENT
A STRANGE PHENOMENON LONDON, Oct. 4. The Astronomer Royal, Sir Frank Dyson, arriving at Southampton by the Euripides, told a strange tale of the behaviour of.the south equatorial current. The ship steamed close to the edge ot the current, which was doing a good three knots an hour, hut the edge was cmite stationary and banked high with seaweed and marine growth, over which flew thousands of flying fish. It was like steaming along a river bank, though the river was hundreds of miles wide. Captain Bowman corroborated the statement, saying that though he had many times traversed the current he had never seen the same sight.
