* 1.1I am informed by the Governour of the Bermudas Islands, that these are the foreruners of them. First, at some distance from the shore the Sea would swell. Secondly, the Wa∣ter about a day after would beat violently a∣gainst
the shore and adjacent Rocks, which could neither be attributed to Winds or Tydes or any other cause; besides which it would sometimes on a sudden invade the shore suc∣cessively, as suddenly subsiding again without any manifest cause, where it is observable, that as the incroachment upon the Shore is greater, the recess of the Water is proportionable. Third∣ly, an unpleasant smell in the Air would pre∣ceed the Hurricane. Fourthly, long and visible streaks appeared in the Air of very different Colours, as white, blue, red or green, with∣out the least appearance of Clouds.
Observati∣ous about Hurricanes.
