the Zenith, to which place, or near, they all or mod, 
feemed to point. Shortly after there appeared a long 
Streak of about 30 Degrees, parallel to the Horizon and 
about 1 5 or z6 didanc from it, and about i or ; broad, 
but badly terminated and of a fiery red Colour: which Cent

great numbers of luminous Rays darted from it up-
