On
the
10th
,
no
change
!
J.
T.
Maston
went
nearly
mad
,
and
great
fears
were
entertained
regarding
the
brain
of
this
worthy
individual
,
which
had
hitherto
been
so
well
preserved
within
his
gutta-percha
cranium
.
But
on
the
11th
one
of
those
inexplicable
tempests
peculiar
to
those
intertropical
regions
was
let
loose
in
the
atmosphere
.
A
terrific
east
wind
swept
away
the
groups
of
clouds
which
had
been
so
long
gathering
,
and
at
night
the
semi-disc
of
the
orb
of
night
rode
majestically
amid
the
soft
constellations
of
the
sky
.
That
very
night
,
the
startling
news
so
impatiently
awaited
,
burst
like
a
thunderbolt
over
the
United
States
of
the
Union
,
and
thence
,
darting
across
the
ocean
,
ran
through
all
the
telegraphic
wires
of
the
globe
.
The
projectile
had
been
detected
,
thanks
to
the
gigantic
reflector
of
Long
's
Peak
!
Here
is
the
note
received
by
the
director
of
the
Observatory
of
Cambridge
.
It
contains
the
scientific
conclusion
regarding
this
great
experiment
of
the
Gun
Club
.
LONG
'S
PEAK
,
December
12
.
To
the
Officers
of
the
Observatory
of
Cambridge
.
The
projectile
discharged
by
the
Columbiad
at
Stones
Hill
has
been
detected
by
Messrs.
Belfast
and
J.
T.
Maston
,
12th
of
December
,
at
8:47
P.
M.
,
the
moon
having
entered
her
last
quarter
.
This
projectile
has
not
arrived
at
its
destination
.
It
has
passed
by
the
side
;
but
sufficiently
near
to
be
retained
by
the
