but as far as the fea reaches at half ebb. A fmall lloop 
of 30 tons burthen, at that time laden and dry in Pen- 
zance pier, by the firft furge, was fleeted ; by which 
it appears, that the waters rofe at this place fix feet 
perpendicular, that floop requiring flx feet of water to 
fleet it. 
At the pier of St. Michael’s mount, three miles to 
the eafl of Penzance, the tide was obferved, at the 
fame time, to rife and fall about four feet. At New- 
lyn, (a mile weft of Penzance) the tide rofe to the

On the coaft of Scotland, from Fort Auguflus on

of March, about two in the afternoon, Lochnefs rofe, 
on a hidden, about two feet perpendicularly, and con-

three quarters of an hour. The King’s galley broke 
from her moorings, and drove them into the loch ; 
feveral boats were eafl: very far upon dry land ; in the 
middle of the loch, the water fwelled up like a 
mountain, extremely muddy, and the motion at-
