mill the fwell of the water was fo great, as to drive 
the ftream upwards, back into the conduit of the 
mill. 
At Lee, in the parifh of Whitley, in Surrey, about 
five miles from Bufbridge, between Bulbridge and 
Medhurft ; the water in a canal or pond belonging 
to Mr. Luff was fo violently agitated, that the gar- 
dener, on the firfi; appearance, ran for help, thinking 
a number of otters were under the water, deftroy- 
ing the fifli. 
In a mill-pond, near Guilford in Surrey, a like 
fwell and agitation of the water, I am told, was ob- 
ferved by feveral perfons, one of whom flood all the 
time on a bridge of wood, over the pond. Not the 
lead: tremor or motion of the earth was, I am told, 
felt in any of thefe places, or at the bridge at Guil- 
ford. Thefe are the circumflances I have been able 
to colled: relating to this affair, which, if you think 
proper, you may communicate to the Society. I am, 
Dear Sir, 
Your mofl affedlionate 
and very obedient fervant, 
Philip Carteret Webb.
