 The lightning was almost incessant while deafcnia:, ncals of thunder followed in quick succession.
 Tho storm lasted nearly ten hours. At nightfall the sea was running mountain high. It was found necessary to resort to the use of oil to ride out the hurricane which had become one of the most furious kind Tho Tropic lay at the mercy of tho clements all night.
 At 5 o'clock Sunday morning a romark- ably brilliant flash of lightning illuminated the sky followed by deafening thunder clap. Immediately the sea become fiery red and then darkcned to q hue of blood. This phenomenon was attended by hissing sound which apparently came from over- head The noise grew ill volume and the illumination swiftly increased.
 The light ecome so brilliant that none of the crew could distinguish anything but sparks of fire. A huge ball of fire was dis cerned overhead. It was as long as good sized balloon. It came slanting toward the steamer and fell into the sea only few yards from the vessel filling the air with flakes of fire.
 Millions O.: sparks fell in the wake of the fire ball Illuminating the steamer for sew eral minutes. Captain Barber believes it was a meteor.
 Forso minutes after the ball had sunk into tho sea the faces and the eyes of the sailors smarted with pain and the side of the steamer nearest the fire ball was warm.
 Two hours after the meteor fell the TrOp- ic's engines gave outunder the strain of buffeting the waves mud the steamer rolled over into the trough ef tho sea where she lay helpless for nearly AS hours with the sea breaking over her fore and aft. The weather chains were carried away and the bridge smashed. On Wednesday the storm ceased and the engines and sails were patched up sufficiently to reach this port
