PHENOMENA OF THE GULF STREAM-Tbis
mighty current, which sweeps along three-fourths
of the Atlantic coast of the United States, and
whose influence in regulating climate is felt on
the western shores Of Europe even to the Arctic
ocean, is at all times subject to sudden electrical
changes, arising from the difference of the tenn
perature of the water and that of the atmosphere
Especially is this the case in winter, when in the
prevailing gales on coasts, the temperature of
the air ranges from forty fifty degrees Fahren-
heiD below that of the "Gulf," which looks like
a huge seething cauldron of mist and vapor, and
whose eastern and western boundaries are at such
times accurately defined by line of watery
clouds, through which vivid lightnings are con.
stantly flashing. These mists serve to indicate
the proximity of the Gulf" before even the
water thermometer marks the increasing tempera-
ture, and caution the watchful mariner to keep
respectful distance, or, if compelled to cross it.
to take its narrowest breadth. The ship Wiscon.
sin, recently arrived at New York from Havre,
France, narrowly escaped destruction from eec.
tricity, welearn from the Courier and Enquirer:
The ships position was lat. 81 80 N long
70 40 w. Temperature of water 69 degrees, air
e degrees, Fahrenheit. The weather dark and
lowering, with sharp lightning, and barometer
falling fast ship under double reefed topsas,
foresail and jib. At 2, A. NJ, commenced blow
ing hard with heavy rain and sleet At 2 80, A
NJ, while shortening SAIL an immense ball of fire
struck the main royal mast head, and then fell on
the main hatch, where it exploded with tremen-
dous force, filing the deck with fire and sparks,
with continued explosions of the particles like de-
tonating powder or torpedoes. Owing to the ice,
sleet and snow, with which the decks, bulwarks,
rigging and sails were covered, the fire was soon
extinguished. About ten minutes afterwards, a
second ball struck near the same place, but was
driven by the force of the wind just clear of the
ships side to leeward, when it exploded with a
loud report and great commotion."
