six o’clock, until the Sunday following about four in the
afternoon, and then was discovered by some of our neigh-
bours, who went out with poles, shovels, &c. to search for
her; and after some time spent in it, at last found her bu-
ried four feet deep in snow. One of the men thrusting at
her with his pole, found she was there and alive. She im-
mediately spoke, and begged he would not push her too hard,
for she was almost naked ; and desired some of the women
might come to her, and take her out, which was accordingly
done; when they found her without stockings or shoes, an
old whittle about her shoulders, with a large hole in it,
which she had eaten through; the snow melting down on her

one of her great toes, but she now is very hearty, and in a fair
way of perfect recovery. She was very sensible at the first
taking her out, and still continued so; and she knew every
body perfectly well; and yet she had taken no manner of
food all the time of her being in the snow.

THE WONDERFUL PHENOMENON OF
REFLECTING VISIONS,
SEEN ON THE SUMMIT OF PAMBAMOREA, A MOUNTAIN IN
SOUTH AMERICA, WITH THE SURPRISING SAGACITY OF THE
MULES IN PASSING THEM.
Don George Juan de Ulloa, M.Bouguer, and others, on tra-
versing the vast regions of South America, in May 1774, per-
ceived a wonderful phenomenon on Pambamorea. They say,
we are told that there are fiery meteors about these mountains,
sometimes so high in the air, as to resemble stars, and some-
