TIDAL WAVE IN A RIVER.
A Traveller in China Describes the Great
Bore of Hang-chau as Seen by Moonlight.

On one of the many visits TO China, Eliza
Ruhaimah Scidmore, author of Java, the
Garden Of the East" etc, made a visit to
the mouth of the Tsien-tang River to OBJ
serve the great bore Of Hang -chau-the
tidal wave that sweeps into that stream
three times a year. In the Century she
thus describes the impressive phenomenon n
as it appeared at night:
The moon was riding at the very zenith
and it dizZied us to look up to it. Each one
stood evenly within the circle of his own
clear-cut shadow on the ground, at that
moment OF the moons transit, and the bore
was due; but it was calm night, and il was
three-quarters of an hour after our unaccus-
toned ears had caught The first far-distant,
muttering undertone before the White
Thing was seen, a ghaStly line advancing
as evenly over the water, and as quickly, as
the dark shadow OF an eclipse sweeps over
landscape. Nearer and nearer it roared,
growing greater and whittier, until we could
see the whole cascading, bubbling, frothing
front, with spray-drops showering from the
crest higher up in moonlight. With the
roar of awful waters the dread thing came
on. raising its white crest higher and higher
as ii licked the edges of the piles beyond
which the Junks lay. There We're shouts
and yells, and the usual boatmen'S pande-
monium let loose on the junks as the roar
ing waves approached. A rocket sized,
some tire-crackers sputtered and gongs re-
sounded, but all small sounds of earth S
creatures were drowned as the fearful
White Thing crashed past. and frightful
