An appletree s inches in diameter was cut off and thrown 

 contrarily to the direction of the spout : an anchor was also 

 carried several feet. 

 Gbidon on a waterspout in the Downs. Ph. 



tr. 1701. XXII. 805. 

 Delapryme on a spout. Ph. tr. 1702. XXIII. 



281. 

 It seemed to be produced by a concourse of winds, turning 

 like a screw, the clouds dropping down into it : it threw 

 trees and branches about with a gyratory motion. 



Delapryme on a second spout in Lincoln- 

 shiie. Ph. tr. 1703. XXIII. 1331. 

 It was like the first, taking thatch from the houses and 



lead from the church : the tube seemed to fill at both ends. 



*Stuart's description of waterspouts, with 

 figures. Ph. tr. 1/02. XXIII. 1077- 



Some appeared to be hollow, with water ascending in 

 them: they began from above and from below nearly at the 

 same time. 



Ricliardson on a fall of water from a spout. 

 Ph.ir. 1719- XXX. 1097. 



The spout does not appear to have been seen, but 10 

 acres of ground were destroyed, and a cavity seven feet deep 

 was left. 



Bocanbrey on a vortex of fire rolling on the 

 earth. A. P. 1725. H. 5. 



Perhaps a waterspout with some electric light. 



Harris on a waterspout. Ph. tr. 1733. 

 XXXVIII. 75. 



By estimation of the distance, its thickness must have 

 been about 60 yards, its height J of a mile. It wasted first 

 at the lower part. 



Lord Lovell. Ph.tr. 1742. 



A phenomena like Bocanbrey's. 



Barker on a meteor like a waterspout. Ph. 

 tr. 1749. XLVl.248. 



A black whirling cloud that carried up water, and tore off 

 an ash 8 inches thick : it surrounded some persons like a 

 thick mist, whirling about and dividing itself. 



Ray on a watcispout in Deeping fen, Lin- 

 colnshire. Ph. tr. 1751.477. 

 It was first seen moving across the land and water of the 

 fen : it raised the dust, broke some gates, and destroyed a 

 field of tuimps : it vanished with an appearance of fire ; it 

 was accompanied by three others. 



Franklin. Ph. tr. 1765. 182. Read 1756. 

 Franklin on electricity. 



Thinks a vacuum is made by the rotatory motion of the 

 ascending air, as when water is running through a funnel, 

 and that the water of the sea is thus raised. But no such 

 cause as this could do more than produce a slight rarefaction 

 of the air, much less raise the water to above 30 or 40 feet. 

 At the same time the force of the wind thus excited might 

 carry up much water in detached drops, as it is really ob- 

 served to exist in waterspouts.

 Wolke on a waterspout. Gilb. X. 482. 



Professor Wolke gives an account of a waterspout, 

 which passed immediately over the ship, in which he 

 was sailing, in the Gulph of Finland : it appeared to be 

 about 25 feet in diameter, consisting of drops about the
