Extraordinary Appearance at Sea.

Inc Pera ~ erased II knots outand home
She made the passage from Malta to South
ampten in three days twenty-five and a half
hours, belngthe quickest passage ever known
on her outward passage when approaching
Alexandria, on the Sd inst, an extraordina-
~ phenomenon was witnessed from on board
OF her. At monday the sun became almost
invisible, and dense iog ubscured the fir
nlament; the ship, with her spa,s and rig
ging, were covered with finc powder, which
entered the ears and mouths Of the passen-
GERS, causing the greatest Inconvenience
The utmost alarm was felt on board, and
some dire calamity was apprehended. The
matches were tattened down, and Capt Joy,
the commander Of the packet turned her
head and ran of to Sc. again. - s.srzs 8; :
During the time Of this almost. complete
darkness the wind blew from the South and
the sea was frightfullr disturbed. Although
the Pera proceeded - or So miles out TO sea
again, still the dense fog prevailed far to sea
mard, and towards the eeastdarkness literal
ly overspread the land of Egypt This phe-
nollenon lasted for eight hours. when the foo
cleared away, the wiad luiled, aud the sea
went down. This extraordinary appearance
was owing to. what.is1ealled the Khamuseen
or sand storm, and its. extending 50 far to sea
is a most unusual circumstance. From the
direction, of the wind the khampseen mnst
