AN OCEAN DEEP.
GREAT CRATER DISCOVERED BY LINER OFF THE COAST OF NATAL. CAPETOWN, June K. The liner Athlone Castle discovered a tremendous crater, with a pinnadie in -the centre, in the ocean bed five miles off the Natal coast. The echometer recorded flat bott im at 120 fathoms, and suddenly the needle recorded a depression which developed into a precipitous fall and the needle ran off the chart. Consequently the depth was not recorded. Then there was an almost perpendicular rise until a minute later an cv€n sea. bottom was reached.
