Abstract

WHILE some natives of these islands were preparing my boat for a journey during the night of October 27–28, they were considerably alarmed by the appearance of a very large meteor. As far as I could ascertain from them it became visible near to ζ Ceti, and rushed towards the south-east, leaving a bright train in its wake. One of the natives described it as being as large as a man's head; the others thought it was larger than that. These statements about size must be taken with caution, but from the excitement it caused I believe the meteor was a very large one. It was seen a little before local midnight.
