The Big Meteor.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
was fortunate enough 10 Sc The
meteor that fell on the Goth Of December.
and. though it IS probably d little cold
and stale by now. still as some OF my
friends to whom | described II have
asked me to write out what l saw, here
Il IS. and here also Is a clear explanation
OF what has puzzled the scientific:
I was after ducks near Sweet HAN, on
Pamunkey river and had finished break
fast and was on the river at little after
in the morning. Day was Just break
ing. but q few stars were stlll Shining.
Suddenly We caught sight Of the meteor.
which fell. making q red line az FIRST,
and then blazing up into a big. red ball
Of fire. Just Ike the hall from a Roman
candle. or like scratching giants match
in the sky. The peculiar thing about II
next 20 the size Of Il was that II left
a train Of smoke. just Ike thn SIN ke
left by a shell. In the sky. This smoke
hung In the air certainly fifteen minutes,
and probably twenty or more. J counted
Gao while / watched II. then got tired
and stopped counNng, and after padding
half a mile took a last look at the smoke
and then went into the marsh after ducks
and paid no more attention 10 It. II was
a lieht gray,sh smoke Hike that Of gun
powder and the breeze waited and BENT
IL into shapes which might seem IKE
very open W. From the
train OF smoke seen az 50 great
a distance, and lasting 50 long, the me-
teor must have been very large indeed.
II seemed 10 come out of the higher
depths Of space and 10 catch IRE as IL
struck our atmosphere. But IL seemed
too. quite near though 1t fell more slowly
than such things usually do. But the
seeming slow motion Of II was owing
10 the great distance. l listened Tor an
explosion. but heard none. II seemed 10
fan ut an angle Of say from forty-nVe
to sixty degrees.
The true explanation OF II was this:
When the big, red light flashed and feu
| looked around to see what the darky
that was padding the boat would 10
His mouth and mis- eyes were wide OPEN
and ne was in the attitude OF a person
that had dropped something heavy. just
