WATER SPOUT IN BARATARIA BAY.-In
letter from Grande Terre, dated August l,
the following interesting account of water
pout is given;
About ten o'clock on last Thursday
morning, water spout, with very dark
sky as back ground, was seen TO the north
west Of Grande Terre Shortly after, three
more appeared; one of them of really fear
full dimensions. 1t was not long before
tornado swept over the island toward the
southeast, bringing with it two spOuts. One
Of these destroyed small wharf and shed,
throwing pieces of lumber to distance OF
a hundred yards, and lifting high into the.
air a yawl and a large skill, throwing them
to different side. of the bayou into the
swamp each at least forty yards from the
place where they had beeRdying. On their
way To the gulf one of the spOuts passed to
the east side of Fort Livingston, and the
other to the west, the latter grazing the
HEADQUARTERS building. On the gulf the
gulf the water was unruffled, save in the
Immediate neighborhopd Of the spouts. There
it was whirled and whipped into white
froth. The whole occurrence took place
and was over in less time than it takes to
relate it,
