(London Gazette 4.6.1715): "On the 22d the eclipse of the Sun was very remarkable here, and much greater than the Astronomers had calculated it, having been totally obscured for about seven minutes, insomuch that several Stars were seen near the Sun, and appear'd as bright as at Midnight. It happened that about 100 Muscovite Prisoners were at that time bringing under a Guard from the Place of their Confinement to work, 28 whereof found Means during the Suprise the Guard was under in the Time of the Eclipse to make their Escape. Several Peasants who came lately from Aland reported that they had an Account there from Abo, the capital of Finland, that the Muscovites were making great Preparations for a very considerable Enterprize, and that several Regiments of Russian Infantry were daily expected in that Island; and on the 2d Instant an Express came from Colonel Cronberg, whi commands the Troops posted on the Coast over-against Aland, and brought Advice that the Muscovite Regiments were come over from Finland, and that a Descent was intended to be made upon this Continent, whereupon orders have been dispatched to the Regiments which are the nearest to this Plave to repair hither with all possible speed."
