 * south quarter.

 * salt sea eastward.
   The lake Asphaltites, Dead sea, or Salt sea, is, according to
   the most authentic accounts, about 70; miles in length, and 18
   in breadth.  Viewing this sea from the spot where the Jordan
   discharges its waters into it, it takes a south-easterly
   direction, visible for ten or fifteen miles, when it
   disappears in a curve towards the east.  Its surface is
   generally unruffled, from the hollow of the basin in which it
   lies scarcely admitting the free passage necessary for a
   strong breeze:  it is, however, for the same reason, subject
   to whirlwinds or squalls of short duration.  The mountains on
   each side are apparently separated by a distance of eight
   miles; but the expanse of water at this point has been
   supposed not to exceed five or six:  as it advances towards
   the south, it evidently increases in breadth.  The acrid
   saltness of its waters is much greater than that of the sea;
   and of such specific gravity that bodies will float on it that
   would sink in common sea-water.  It is probably on this
   account that few fish can live in it; though the monks of St.
   Saba affirmed to Dr. Shaw, that they had seen fish caught in
   it.
