Ship Nearly Hit by Meteorite
A narrow escape from being struck by a meteorite was experienced by the L=
eyland Rae(?) steamer Bostonian recently. Captain Perry saw the meteorite=
 flashing brilliantly, falling to the southwest of the vesset. There was =
a hissing sound as it approached and with a loud report it fell into the =
ocean a few ship's length's from the Bostonian's bow. It caused so great =
a disturbance in the sea that water was dashed over the decks of the stea=
mer.
