WATER SPOUT ON RIVER.
Curious Phenomena Seen During
Rainsauall Yesterday.

During the heavy squall that swept
across the city yesterday afternoon about
$50 o'clock those aboard vessels lying at
10th and 18th street wharves had the
unique experience of seeing miniature
waterspout sweep across the harbor. An
eddy in the wind formed a whirl that
picked up the water in a column twelve
or fifteen feet high and carried it down
the harbor with racehorse speed. Finally
it dropped. and the splash of the water
was heard above the Kissing Of the rain
and the roar of the wind
Though the wind blew very hard for a
few minutes and caused some few of the
vessels and launches lying at anchor to
drag for a short distance no damage of
consequence has been reported

to be fitted with a new sixty horse
power engine, it was found necessary
to remove the old engine bed and re-
