Moskoe, the depth of the Water is between 36 and
40 .fatitotAS 'it is -flood; the stream runs up
the country with a hoisterons rapidity, anti the roar
of its impetuous ebb to the sea, is scarcely equalled
by, the loudest cataracts, the noise being heard,seve-
ral leagues off, and the vortex so 'powerful as to
absorb every 'ship that comes w ithin its attraction.
~It
is-then beaten to pieces against the`, rocks at the bot-
tom, and when thewater grows smoother, its frag-
ments are thrown up again. But these intervals of
tranquility- happen only at the turn of -the ebb and
flaw, and last 'but a quarter of an hour. Whales
frequentrycometod near the stream, and- are over-
powered by its violence. It is then impossible to
deseribe their howlings and bellowings in their fruit.'

attempting, to swim from Loloi.len to Moskoe,. to

N that on the and of Moskoe the very:Stones of the
houses fell to the ground.

tice READ, NAREs, and other Magistrates of Bow •
street, for hawking and selling six sacks of coals to
