Frank Reid's Inspiring Thought
About 11:30 pm on the night of June 13, the sky being partially covered with fleecy clouds slowly drifting from the south-west, so that the full moon was frequently obscured, a shooting-star appeared in the north, at an elevation of about 50º to 60º, and descended obliquely towards the east. It was as bright as a star of the first magnitued, and was visible during a slightly zigzag flight of some 30º, leaving no trail. But the remarkable thing was that the sky in that quarter was pretty closely covered with the slowly-moving fleecy clouds, so that no fixed stars were visible. The meteor, therefore, must have been below the clouds, at least in the latter part of its course. Birstal Hill,
