PARTICULARS OF A
FLOATING ISLAND
THAT APPEARED IN DERWENT-WATER, CUMBERLAND.
From the bottom of the lake of Derwent-water an island
has emerged three times in the course of about thirty years,
or according to other accounts, it has been in the habit of
repeating its visits after an interruption of seven or nine years.
It began to emerge on the 20 th of July, 1808, and, in a very
short time, appeared above the surface. It is situated at the
head of the Keswick lake, about a stone’s cast from the shore.
It contains about an acre of ground, and is qliite stationary.
At first it was of a dark brown colour, but soon became
covered with verdure. By thrusting a pole in several places
to the depth of three yards the water rushed up, conse-
quently it is of that thickness, and unconnected with the
bottom. That it is also unconnected with the shore is
evident, as boats sailed entirely round it, and people sounded
