THE MAPLESTIIOM.—A Danish paper states, that
this dreadful whirlpool, situated to the westward of
the coast of Lapland, has, within the last two years,
increased its phenomena. It now stands 15 minutes
every fifth hour. Vessels at the distance of eight or
nine English miles are no longer safe ; and its attrac.
tive force, when agitated by a storm, will even reach
them, or the larger kind of animals, at the distance of
ten miles, and impetuously hurry them to certain de.
struction in the gulph. Two vessels, bound from
Norway, to the Vigten Islands, having been drover
last summer within nine miles of the Maplestrom,
and imagining themselves secure, as its operation was
thought to be confined to six miles, were on a sudden
carried away by the torrent, and with their crews en.
tirely lost.
