SEA OF FLAME.
Remarkable Experience Of British Steamer Visited
By ST. Elm os Fire.

From the British steamer AYR. in port
| from Iloilo. comes a remarkable story
OF the experience OF that vessel with
the phenomenon known as St. Elmo
hre. during her passage across the In
dian ocean. The curious spectacle which
Is often afforded TO mariners was in the
case mentioned one Of unprecedented
magnitude.
In all previous records Of experiences
with the wonderful electrical disturb
ance there is no instance i'm which il
was exhibited on such a scale of terri
Tying grandeur as when seen by the
crew of the Ayr.
The Ayr sailed from Ilois on June 10.
says the Philadelphia Record. Her
course was that usually followed by
homeward bound vessels, a long run of
1900 miles by way OF The Cape OF
Good Hope.
On July the Ayr wss in the loveliest
part OF that wide stretch of ocean
which separates India from South Af-
Iaca. An hour after sunset on that day
the wonderful electrical spectacle be-
gan.
Ii was noticed on the two preceding
days that something out OF the general
run or atmospheric disturbances
seemed 10 be impending ON July q
there had been a great storm with the
accompaniment OF an appalling display
or lightning. Although the storm sub
sided the air seemed charged with the
fluid.
Shortly after o'clock on July a
Dali OF IRE. apparently foot in diam
eter, suddenly appeared at the fOremast
head
Its advent was so sudden and so un-
expected that the crew were momenta-
lily paralyZed with terror. Nevert heless
for time nothing followed the appear
ance of the ominous globeIt shone with
CHASTITY greenish radiance. and al
though vibrating slightly with the roll
ing OF the ship never changed it's posi-
tion on the taper'ing spar.
Within an hour two similar balls de-
scended on the Ayr one at the extrem-
tty or the bowsprit. and the second on
the port bulwarks nearly amidshfp.
Those who saw these mysterious vis-
ltors say that no words can describe the
amount of light shed by them. The AYR
seemed to be sailing in a veritable sea
of fire
In the meantime the globe on the
buwarks developed curious eccentric-
ties. 1t rolled along the narrow rail al
most the entire length OF the foredeck.
Il was hoped that IL would fall into Che
sea. but never WAS its remarkable
equilibrium destroyed
This scene lasted until 12 o'clock. At
hat hour the fire bail on the bowsprit
burst like boInb. and for miles around
he sea was overspread with astound-
ng radiance. which nearly blinded the
frightened tars. When things had re-
urned 10 their normal condition no
race of the st. Elmo's fire remained
lbout the vessel. A strange glow. how
'ver, ,permeated the horizon on all quar-
ers until nearly morning
