Captain Reports Thrilling Encounter
in Gulf of Mexico.

Capt John Barry of the American
steamship Charles E. HARDWOOD. at
Baltimore. with oil from Mexico, re-
ports having had startling experience
in the Gulf of Mexico with two huge
waterspouts that came dangerously
near striking the ship.
According to Capt. Barry. the spouts
were sighted at 10 am. August 9, when
the vessel was about 200 miles south
west of Key West, Fla. The spouts
were travelling slowly toward the west
ward. and had not the course of the
vessel been changed would have struck
the ship.
The waterspouts apparently were
about forty feet in diameter in their
narrowest part, and the column reach
ed from the sea to the clouds. Had
they struck the Harwood, Capt. Barry
stated, serious damage would have re-
suited.
Waterspouts are not an uncommon
sight at sea, but those as large as seen
by the men on the Harwood are sell
dom encountered.

has been set to a corresponding height.
Portions of the floor of the colonnade
are laid and the step courses on the
