SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE THAT OccUbRGD OFF
THE AFRICAN COAST.
To the Editor Of the San Francisco Cau-SIR:
Notice in an issue OF your journal an account
of "duststorm" experienced at sea. Think
ing it would be interesting to the public, 1 re-
late similar occurrence that happened when
/ was in comm and of the British bark Flora in
1878. We were bound from Cardiff to Monte
video. When in latitude 20 deg: 90 min. north,
longitude 81 deg. 60 min. west being about
600 miles from the coast of Africa, the weather
being fine and the wind moderate from north
east, q peculiar kind of haze appeared,
and in short time we found the rigging, sails
and deck of the ship covered with very fine
red sand. We came to the conclusion that the
dust had been raised by q sirocco in the deserts
of Africa. and carried to the position where we
encountered it. b. E. HOLMAN. q
