1906 / (Cut) / Wheel / Gulf of Oman / B.D.) (263). [IX; 146. The note copies information from pages 263 and 264 of The Book of the Damned. "Remarkable Display of Phosphoresence." Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society of London, 32 (October 1906): 280. "This last voyage we witnessed a weird and most extraordinary electric phenomenonI say 'electric,' for I cannot think of it being anything else. We were steaming along at eight knots in the Qulf of Oman. At 10.30 p.m. I was on watch, and noticed ahead of the ship a bank of apparently quiescent phosphorescence; it might have been a tide up or the sea lapping the beach, but I knew it could not with any degree of probability be the latter. Yet I kept a careful watch on it, as uncharted shoals and islands are ever out-cropping in these parts." "When we got to within twenty yards of the whitish water I saw it break into life and lightshafts of brilliant light came sweeping across the ship's bow at a prodigious speed, which might be put down as anything between sixty and two hundred miles an hour. Then we steamed into the light, and the effect was weird to a degree. It was just as if a large gun with a rectangular muzzle were shooting bars of light at us from infinity. These light bars were about twenty feet apart and most regular; their brilliancy was dazzling. They first struck us on our broadside, and I noticed on our lee side that an intervening ship had no effect on the light beams; they started away from the lee side of the ship just as if they had travelled right through it." "The direction from which the light bars came gradually veered round the whole compass. After a quarter of an hour of this harmless bombardment we ran into the night's ordinary darkness. But in another five minutes we were again attacked by the light bars, now travelling in a direction the exact opposite of the ship's course. This second attack lasted for about five minutes, and then the entertainment was over for the night It was impossible to say whether the light bars travelled through the water or on its surface. I collected a bucketful of the water and examined it under the microscope, but could not detect anything abnormal."]

The report was caused by a meteor exploding several miles above the earth, somewhere about half way between Maddux and Lloyd. The sound resembled that of a heavy blast of powder, followed by a roar resembling that which follows a sharp clap of thunder, excepting this roar ran smooth and died gradually away, while a roar after a sharp clap of thunder is a succession of minor reports. The roar following this explosion seemed to travel in a north-easterly direction for more than a minute before it died entirely away.”]

"On Tuesday (October 30) afternoon the weather was clear and bright, although there was little sunshine. Just after one bell, 4.30 o'clock, I saw three meteors fall into the water dead ahead of the ship, one after another at a distance of about five miles. Although it was daylight they left a red streak in the air from zenith to the horizon." "Simultaneously the third engineer shouted to me. I then saw a huge meteorite on the port beam falling in a zigzag manner less than a mile away to the southward. We could distinctly hear the hissing of the water as it touched. It fell with a rocking motion, leaving a broad red streak in its wake. The meteor must have weighed several tons, and appeared to be from 10 to 15 feet in diameter. It was saucer-shaped, which probably accounted for the peculiar rocking motion." "When the mass of metal struck the water the spray and steam rose to a height of at least forty feet, and for a few moments looked like the mouth on a crater. If it had been night the meteor would have illuminated the sea for fifty or sixty miles. The hissing sound, like escaping steam, when it struck the water, was so loud that the Chief Engineer turned out of his berth and came on deck, thinking the sound came from the engine room."
