  trees 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  ordinary 
  directions, 
  and 
  the 
  same 
  is 
  true 
  to 
  the 
  

   eastward 
  of 
  the 
  place 
  in 
  which 
  this 
  descent 
  of 
  the 
  spout 
  occurred. 
  

  

  A 
  second 
  case 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  kind 
  is 
  represented 
  in 
  figure 
  5. 
  At 
  Mr 
  

   David 
  Dunn's, 
  the 
  evidence 
  is 
  against 
  such 
  a 
  descent 
  having 
  taken 
  

   place 
  at 
  the 
  dwellinghouse, 
  as 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  row 
  of 
  trees 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  

   and 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  house, 
  see 
  figure 
  6, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  fence, 
  trees 
  and 
  shrubs 
  

   of 
  the 
  garden 
  to 
  the 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  house. 
  Yet 
  the 
  dwelling 
  appears 
  as 
  

   a 
  centre, 
  towards 
  which 
  objects 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  and 
  east 
  of 
  it 
  were 
  thrown. 
  

   To 
  account 
  for 
  this 
  I 
  have 
  supposed 
  a 
  momentary, 
  and 
  the 
  evidence 
  

   shows 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  merely 
  momentary, 
  pause 
  or 
  check 
  in 
  the 
  velocity 
  of 
  

   the 
  meteor. 
  Such 
  pauses 
  were 
  represented 
  to 
  us 
  by 
  many 
  spectators 
  

   to 
  have 
  taken 
  place, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  in 
  cases 
  where 
  they 
  could 
  hardly 
  

   have 
  been 
  deceived. 
  In 
  figure 
  7 
  is 
  shown 
  a 
  case 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  doubtful 
  

   whether 
  the 
  effects 
  are 
  those 
  of 
  a 
  check 
  of 
  velocity, 
  or 
  of 
  a 
  descent 
  of 
  

   the 
  spout; 
  most 
  probably 
  both 
  took 
  place. 
  

  

  These 
  effects 
  all 
  indicate 
  a 
  moving 
  column 
  of 
  rarefied 
  air, 
  without 
  

   any 
  whirling 
  motion 
  at 
  or 
  near 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  ground.
