MOVEMENT OF OCEAN STEAMERS
FROM UNITED STATES.
A WATERSPOUT AS SEEN IN THE EASTERN
PASSAGE TO CHINA

After very close night, attended, as usual in
these regions, by thunder and lightning, we were
surprised at dawn by being surrounded by what
seemed to be dense cloud, perfectly impenetrable
to the eye; but which, morning further advanced
cleared Oft to the westward, disclosing a most beau
ttul rainbow-which, contrary to the usual semi
circular appearance that it possesses ashore seemed
by the perfect reflection of it in the sea- to be one
vast circle of the most brilliant colors: but after
contemplating this magnificent sight, on turning
to the eastward, different feelings were excited not
altogether unmixed with wonder and fear, for the
clouds on this side, instead of clearing off had as
drawn together by some vast hidden power, pre-
senting the appearance of a column, which was
quite small at the base, but it rose diverged on all
sides till joining the clouds, when it entirely obscur-
ed the view of the horizon in that quarter We
surveyed this awful phenomenon for some time be-
lore It's true character occurred to u.s. but as il near
ed us, the whirling of the water which appeared to
be drawn mp to the clouds in rapid spiral reyolu-
tions, accompanied by a noise as of distant thunder
proclaimed it to be, beyond doubt, a watcrspout.-
Our position now began to be one of danger it be-
ing dead calm, 50 that we seemed to have no
chance OF escaping the spout, which was rapidly ap-
preaching us. So absorbed were we in Watching
this cause ofdanger, that had very nearly fallen
victims to of those sudden squalls which infst
the eastern passage to China. Having had very
ilght weather we had all sail set and, consequently
when the squall caught us, we were in imminent
danger OF losing our masts, but which, thanks to
their size and our good rigging, held out manfullv
for about two hours, when the squall, which had
Joined the waterspou entirely disappeared leaving
US in sight of the island of DANA bearing W. miles
in lat. ll2o s., long. 1880 36f. H. c.
