In traversing Sweden it swept away whole TO-
rests; bat it was naturally in the Gulf of Fin
land that its ravages would be most severely
felt, its violence having kept up to that spot.
In an instant it drove the waters OF The Baltic
into the Gulf OF Finland, which, being terni-
mated by a point towards the east, must have
experienced, particularly towards that eStremi-
~, a sudden and immense elevation OF its wa
tiers. This lne, which appears to form a dou-
BILE curve, determined by some lands. presents
upon the map a Development of $40 TO 400
leagues, over which the hurricane travelled ia
a few minutes, and perhaps even in one mir

the exact moment when the phenomenon burst
upon the different countries which II visited.
