j *va$ it to behold this moving phenomenon, now 
fix’d ! to fee, as it were, a law of nature inverted ! 
for this watry fubftance fpouted out water from its 
own furface, to a coniiderable height, and all the 
time attended with a terrible noife, fo as all the beafts 
and iheep ran from it, greatly frighted. 
Upon its fecond route, it proceeded in a fide-line 
into the river, breaking in its paftage a fifhing-net, 
and there it moved along, till it came to the church, 
where it flood again fome little while, and then 
made its next paflage thro’ the (pace, that is between 
the church and the parfonage-houfe, towards Weflon 
hills and Moulton chapel. In its way to thefe places, 
it tore up a field of turnips, broke a gate off the 
hinges, and another gate it broke to pieces. Thofe, 
who faw it evaporate, affirm it afeended into the 
clouds in a long fpearing vapour, and at laft ended 
in a fiery ff ream. There was a miff, like fmoke, fre- 
quently round it. Three more were feen at the fame 
nine in different places. 
P. S, When this was read to the Society at Spalding, 
feveral of the members prefent attefted, that they 
themfelves faw this phenomenon in moft circum- 
ffances the fame as here deferibed ; excepting only 
the laft of a fiery ftream. 
But to fome other people, who gave accounts of it 
to them, it did fo appear.
