LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells OF Strange eombardment
OF His Vessel.

Capt. A. Sunderbcrg Of tho steam
schooner Wasp. which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports q
strange experience at sea on August Z.
In a report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p. m. when six miles
east by south OF Point Conception.
his vessel ran into thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
without the fog rising In tho least.
a violent electric storm broke out. and
for ono hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket OF heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges Of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes Of angular
aigzag and forkcd lightning. At 1871
a m. August s. the steel foremast OF
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display OF st. Elmo
fire. as the mast gave out loud reports
as II from a powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded BY
lightning which coursed down her
main mast. her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.
