EFFECT OF ROCKETS ON THE ADYSSINIAN-.--44A,
soon as it became dark, rockets, which had been broubi
by the Embassy, were to be discharged from the ten,.„#
by the King's express desire. With fire-arms the Joa
sinians were previously acquainted ; and the brass 54
loper (cannon) which had echoed so recently, altl.;pe
viewed with wonderful respect, was still the only °KJ
on a coloSsal scale, to which they were familiai
But these were the first rockets of which his liflqro,
had viewed the flight ; and the impression they :;s,
duced upon his mind, as he gazed from his watch °by/ft
was scarcely less than that worked upon his assealtiner
subjects. Night had thrown her sable mantle arlic or
and the novel principle of ascent, with the grantr or
the brilliant rush into the skies, afforded Inale
amazement to all spectators. Vhen the 13/0° toe.
started, with a loud roar from its bed, men, wo ana
and children, fell flat upon their faces. Horses frier
mules broke loose from their tethers, and the '"Vbe
who bad any heart remaining shouted aloud. , goo
Galla tribes, who witnessed the meteor-like exPlo. of
from the vicinity, ascribed the phenomena to the
potent medicines ; and declared, that, since the Cl.,Pfire
could at pleasure produce comets in the sky and rolli;ect
from heaven, there was nought for them left, save fadi
submission to the King's commands.—Harris's Highly'
