Some months ago we reproduced a photo. of the "Puffing Hole" of Kilkee,
Ireland. Here we have a view of a similar phenomenon situated on the
coast of Durham, between South Shields and Marsden. At certain times of
the tide, and during stormy weather, the water rushes into a cave by an
opening at the sea level. This water, together with an enormous quantity
of imprisoned air, spouts out of a small hole at the apex of the cavern
to an immense height, and, if the sun happens to be shining, a beautiful
rainbow is formed. Local tradition, of course, assigns the authorship of
this phenomenon to his Satanic Majesty, the hole being known as the
"Devil's Spout." Photo. sent in by Mr. H. Eltringham, Eastgarth, Westoe,
S. Shields.
