SPRAY, the sprinkling of the sea, which is driven
from the top of a wave in stormy weather. It differs
from spool-drift, as being only blown occasionally from
the broken surface of a high wave; whereas the latter
continues to fly horizontally along the sea, without in-
termission, during the excess of a tempest or hurricane.
