Mallet advertised that he
intended to publish only
foreign news, and claimed z = =--
that he would not take upon
himself to add any comments
of his own, supposing other
people to have sense enough
to make reflections for
themselves."

SWe how continued to run down the coast, at the distance of
about two miles. On passing the small battery at Ponce-bay,
the Spaniards, to give us some idea of their bravery, fired one
gun at us, and we observed a very great bustle at their fort;
but pased on, without taking any notice of their fire, not a little
chagrined at finding no vessels in their harbours. Some of the
fishermen informed our pilot that a felucca had sailed from
PQnce two dayv before, and they believed she was still in a bay
to leeward. We here parted with our privateer, which we hadi
detained, and continued our course alung-shore to the west-
ward. We were frequently becalmed alter noon, and fre-
quently were assailed uy sudden gusts of wind, from three or
four differt'i points of the compass, in the space of five nminuics;
sometimes from two different points at the same moment.
About two o'clock, the mountains of Porto Rico presented a
scene truly sublime: their summits were buried in black clouds,
while the rain poured in torrents down their sides; and vivid
flashes of lightning broke incessantly through the black glorm,
to increase the awfulness of the scene. The allies, in the mean-
time, reverberated the deep and tremendous pe.ils of thunder,
which rolled without intermission on the mountain-tops. This
grand landscape we contemplated at the distance of three or
four miles; while we enjoyed, at the same time, a bright un-
clouded sun, an ocean as smooth as glass, and an atmosphere
not agitated by the least breath of wind. The privateer was at
the same moment encountering a very heavy squiil, not two
miles from us;-a phenomenon pretty common between the
tropics. This spectacle continued more than an hour, when
another very surprising phenomenon attracted our attention:-
it was a water-spout. I had never been able to conceive before
how a water-spout was formed, but had now an excellent op-
portunity of observing it from its very commencement. It
began close alongside the ship by a whirlwind, which put the
water into a rapid circular motion, forming a whirlpool, with a
deep depression in its centre like a well: the diameter of its
vortex appeared to me to be about eight yards. On the cir-
cumference of the well the water began to be elevated, at first
slowly, and, as it were, in foam; but, ha.vi gained an elevation
