A Maori with me, on hearing the gurgling sound of the-water under our feet, caught me by the arm and made me turn back, saying it was Taipo making the noise. " RENEWED ACTIVITY. - This morning Wahanga, one of the ranges of Tarawera, looked to be quieter, but Tarawera proper was still lively. The greater volcanic activity however appears to be at the Terraces, which were more and more violent in their eruptions, and yesterday immense clouds of steam went up all day, aud in the forenoon two huge black columns shot up into the air in the shape of a waterspout, and which must have been several thousand ' feet high. Just at dusk to-night from ths top of Pukero it'could be' seen that there was a tremendous outburst of activity along the whole line fromWahanga to the south of Rotomahana. The whole length of volcanoes I saw yesterday from the Mona appear to be again in active operation along the whole side of Tarawera range. ■ The spectacle was au awe inspiring one,.and the immense clouds of steam filled every portion of the eastern sky. "-.: ISUKIED FOR ONE HUNDRED HOURS. A most.-extraordinary event happeuedatTe Wairoa to-day. At this settlement lived a Native named Tuhuoto, who was said to be over 100 years old. He was of Tohunga renown, and was looked upon with great dread, as it was said he had bewitched a number of people so that they died. The poor old man is simply in his dotage. When To Wairoa was burned beueath the falling ashes, it.was thought that at last Tuhuoto had been_ got rid of. It was not so, however. The men on. digging about a crushed whare heard some one mumbling as if to himself, and at last discovered Tuhuoto where he had lain 104 hours. He had crept into the house, and when the roof collapsed, he had a snug corner all to him self.- When found he was talking to himself, but was by no means anxious to come out. "He wanted to be left alone, and did not see why anybody should go digging and pushing him about. The Natives, have had' a great dread' of him, and were astonished but apparently not gratified'to see him alive." Neither the Wairoa Natives nor the Kaiteraria would take charge of'him)* and he himself was very-refractor}'.
