leldom spa red from their polls
on the walls, in order to pur
chafe or cook their victuals,
the inhabitants were in the ha.
bit cf carrying warm victuals
and drink to th m when at
their ports. Ihe citizens even
dilt nbuted money among the
military, to encourage them to

Singular Phenomenon.
Capt. Lewis Alexander Sen
drey7, of the three masted schoon
er LL States, of New-Orleans,
who sailed from the Mississippi,
for Trinidad, in the island of Cu
ba, reports,
That on the 221 of September,
1806, at noon, perceived the
land, being tbe higher part of
Trinity ; he made all sail, intend
ing if the wind which blew from
s. s. e. continued, to anchor at
Cayo Blar.cho.
At 3 o’clock, a quantity of
Clouds appeared of various colors
which absolutely prevented the
sight of land and reached the Ze
nith. The horizon, dreadfully
dark communicated its shade to
the upper part of tbe sky ; as it
advanced, the horizonof the earth
bore the same appearance as that
ofttiesea,so that at 5 o’clock,
p. M- the wind ceased and he
found himself bet wen both. This
was frightful the whole of the
horizon of a jetty black, polar
circles of a dark pale white, be
spangled with flashes ol fire ;tiie
vault oi heaven or the Zenith, of
a frightful equinox, avid present,
ed the most gloomy horrais of
nature-
In this situation, the captain k
crew did not feel comtoi table ;
by farce, they resigned them
selves to their fate, when, all at
l once, at three quarters past 8, die
vessel being off the n. e. part oi
the city of Trinity, there appear*
i c d, in the polar circle, the ap
■ uearance of an eye ol large di-
I mension, out of which there came
a huge waterspout, which im
mediately made an abundant dis
chai ge, about one leaga* trout the
vessel.
Examining with attention this
phenomenon, what was the cap
tain’s surprise on perceiving ten
minu;es after (hat, the spout com
menced discharging, that it a
(•acted his vessel towards it, and
that in the space oi six minutes
it had been attracted half a
ieag ie. Consternation was per
crivable in ad p esent, the captain
felt the necessity of having guns
on board ; he looked on hiuvve
is lost without redemption, at
Providence did not tn erpose m
h.a behalf. The discharge from
the water-spout was immense,
which gave them hope* th it
.voutd soon spend ilselt. Ine.
were in error, for if a shower
horn northward hud nut provt
ientialfv fallen, they would nave
.nevttaWy been dm vit within u
vortex ; ie made all possible sat!
hr th--: Cape to the s. w. during
one quarter of an hour, which
.roved his salvation. Had not
he variation of wind taken place
‘he schooner & crew would have
v--e n lost.
The same shower from th
northward had not yet ceased,
when the wind shifted instantly
‘o that part where the spout had
burst. The rain and wind conti
nued with violence during one
hour, they were obliged to run
under bare poles before the wind
—lmmediately a calm ensued,
and on every side the water pour
cd down of the thickness of a
finger until midnight, so that the
scuttles scarcely sufficed for the
discharge of tiie rain.
