The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort
337
In
general,
if
our
expression
be
not
immediately
acceptable,
we
recommend
to
rival
interpreters
that
they
consider
the
localization--with
one
exception--of
this
phenomenon,
to
the
Indian
Ocean
and
adjacent
waters,
or
Persian
Gulf
on
one
side
and
China
Sea
on
the
other
side.
Though
we're
Intermediatists,
the
call
of
attempted
Positivism,
in
the
aspect
of
Completeness,
is
irresistible.
We
have
expressed
that
from
few
aspects
would
wheels
of
fire
in
the
air
look
like
wheels
of
fire,
but,
if
we
can
get
it,
we
must
have
observation
upon
vast
luminous
wheels,
not
interpretable
as
optical
illusions,
but
enormous,
substantial
things
that
have
smashed
down
material
resistances,
and
have
been
seen
to
plunge
into
the
ocean:
Athenaeum,
1848-833:
That
at
the
meeting
of
the
British
Association,
1848,
Sir
W.S.
Harris
said
that
he
had
recorded
an
account
sent
to
him
of
a
vessel
toward
which
had
whirled
"two
wheels
of
fire,
which
the
men
described
as
rolling
millstones
of
fire."
"When
they
came
near,
an
awful
crash
took
place:
the
topmasts
were
shivered
to
pieces."
It
is
said
that
there
was
a
strong
sulphurous
odor.
