similar appearance near Saltburn. Whilst walking (Jan. 1889) on 
the cliff by the Zetland Hotel, which directly faces Huntcliff, 
he saw a steamer rounding the point, and at the same time a 
‘cloud of black smoke,’ which he attributed to another steamer 
following the first. With eyes fixed on “the cliff, he saw, within a 
second or two, an immense mass of rock (Lias) leave the face of 
the cliff and plunge into the sea, throwing up another ‘cloud of 
black smoke’ which explained the first. 
Notes of certain measurements made by the Secretary for 
future reference.
