surrounding c..untry. In Italy several
instances are known of the loss of life
from meteorites. A peasant was
sitting in his cabin and was killed b:
an iron mass that crashed through
the rof; the act was regarded as a
vi-itation of divine augt r. The city
of Milan is perhaps the only one that
has been struck by the meteorite. A

More remarkable are the falls at

wo,-l seem an extraordinary chance.
yet a Swedirb ship was so struck, the
stone killing two of the crew. On
December 1, 1 90, the ship Walkom
minitg was sailin~g from New York to
Bremnen when her offie.ers noticed a
brilliant meteor that appeared to be
bearing down on the vessel fromr
southest to northwest. It passed
with a loud roar and hisaing sound
and plunged into, the sea ahead of
the ship- That it was a met-or of
large si was evidJent, for a few
minutes later the ship was .'-truck by
a tidal wave. Even more remarkable
was the expersiee.f the JBritish ship
