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
