which contains the fifh-pond, and accidentally call- 
ing his eye on the water, was furprifed to fee it 
greatly moved without the lead apparent caufe, as 
the air was intirely calm. This occahoned him to 
call to his compan'on to take notice of it, who at 
firh neglecTed it, till being urged to attend to fo ex- 
traordinary an appearance, he wa? equally ftruck 
with the fight of it. Large waves rolled flowly to 
and from the bank near them, at the eafi: end, for 
fome time, and at lafileft the bed of the pond dry for 
feveral feet, and in their reflux overflowed the bank 
ten or twelve feet, as they d.d the oppofite one^ 
which was evident from the wetnefs of the ground 
about it. This motion having continued five or fix 
minutes, the two waiters ftept to the cold bath near 
the fifh pond, in order to fee what paffed there ; but 
no motion was obferved in it by them, or by a gen- 
tleman who had been in it, and was then drefling 
himfelf, and who, upon being told of the agitation 
in the fifh pond, went diredtly thither, with the 
waiters, and was a third witnefs of it. Upon the 
ceafing of it, all three of them went to the pleafurc 
bath, between which and the fifli pond the cold bath 
is fituated ; but they found the faid pleafure bath 
then motionlefs, but to have been agitated in the 
fame manner with the fifii pond, the water having 
left plain marks of its having overflowed the banks, 
and rifen to the bufhes on the fides of them. The 
waiter likewife informed me, that the motion in 
the fifii pond had been obferved with great furprize 
by fome perfons in a houfe belonging to Mr. Kemp, 
the mafter of Peerlefs-Pool, fituated at a fmall di- 
ftance from that pond, and commanding a full view 
of it.
