A STRANGE SIGHT.-At Banff, in the north of Scot-
land, on the afternoon of Saturday last, there was seen
coming in from the sea a huge pile of water, of a circu-
lar form, progressing rapidly towards the shore with a
gyratory motion. When first observed, it was appa-
rently about three miles off. As it approached it was
more distinctly seen, and was apparently about one hun-
dred yards in height and about thirty feet in diameter.
It moved with great rapidity, and reached the shore in
less than five minutes from the time at which it was first
observed. When it came among the breakers, it caught
a wave in the act of breaking, and dispersed its waters
into a thousand forms. The whirlwind, however, con-
tinued its course, playing strange pranks on the shore.
