REMARKABLE CHANGES or TEMPERATURE IN the GULF

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
rather singular phenomenon is reported by Cap.
tain g. o. Norton, OF the ship J. r. Chapman. on
the evanng Of the 18Th OF April the vessel which he
commands was then Ia latitude 1914 and longitude
81. 20. about the middle OF the Gulf stream. AT
about eight O'Clock In the evening the rather
singular discovery was made that the water was
about thirty eight degrees. Itexcitcd much surprise
board. the location being regarded too far To the
west and the season OF the year not being far enough
advanced for the presence OF ice. The atmosphere
also became suddenly changed, thick wniry vapors
arose aud every feature that charactcrizes the
presence of winter was experienced by those
on board the ship. The position was any
thing but pleasant, yet according TO ac-
cufate reckoning the vessel was fully six hun
drcd miles from any point where ice Is generally
met, but never ut so early o season OF the
year "a the time recorded Ice Is found
principally In latitude AZ 20 ~ and longitude as
little TO the south Of the Grand Banks, during the
latter part OF May or In June. About eleven r. NJ.
the same night another change took place, the
weather cleared away and the temperature OF the
water was found to be rs. The occurrence was 80
remarkable both In change and the suddenness with
which the change came round that " was Thought
worthy OF record.
