the N.W. by N., and N. by E. points : there was only a low 

 Cirrostratus cloud near the horizon at the time, above which the 

 Aurora ascended in thick and slender pillars of a whitish light.

 distant from each other ; the highest was full 40° above the 

 horizon, under Stella Polaris, and the thickest directly under 

 Benetnasch in the tail of Ursa Major : they sometimes terminated 

 like the top of a cone, and at others like the long flame of a 

 candle.
