NGAURUHOE ACTIVE.
Per Press Association. NAPIER, January 9. The Taupo correspondent of the Hawke’s Bay Herald” telegraphed tonight stating that Ngauniboe lias been in eruption- all day. It was first observed at six o’clock this morning. Tlie mountains were obscured for most of the day bj’ masses of cumulus cloud, but the summit of the volcano at intervals was clear. A volume of dark grey smoke is billowing from the crater and rolling away on a south-west wind, but it is not rising to any great height. Seen through glasses it is an imposing sight, resembling the smoke from a large bush fire. Tills is the first eruption of any moment for five years past. Towards evening the clouds cleared and there was less smoke than in the morning. The dark bulk of the volcano made an impressive picture with a background of vividly coloured sunset sky. Apparently there is no extra activity at the Ketetahi or Te Mari
