water spout in the River.
The Washington Republican says that the
Jane Moseley, on its excursion trip to Point
Lookout on Sunday week encountered a water
spout near Brittons Bay. As this is sight
rarely offered the passengers who board our
river steamers, it created NO little interest
Il was first observed about two miles from
Rritton s Bay, and was closely watched by the
eIcursionist. who crowded the upper decks
and every available space on the steamer that
afforded favorable view 1t took a sort OF
circular course at first, and then gradually
descending to the water, burst with loud
report, forcing the water at least fifty feet high
As the spray danced in its ascent and returned
t" the surface it presented AN aquatic sigh
seldom witnessed on our waters.
