The waters under the territorial jurisdiction of a state;
specif., the belt (often called the
marine belt or
territorial sea) of sea subject to such jurisdiction, and
subject only to the right of innocent passage by the
vessels of other states.
Perhaps it may be said without impropriety that a
state has theoretically the right to extend its
territorial waters from time to time at its will
with the increased range of guns. Whether it would
in practice be judicious to do so . . . is a widely
different matter . . . . In any case the custom of
regulating a line three miles from land as defining
the boundary of marginal territorial waters is so
far fixed that a state must be supposed to accept it
in absence of express notice. --W. E. Hall. The mouth watersWater Wa"ter, v. i.
1. To shed, secrete, or fill with, water or liquid matter;

Waterspout
Waterspout Wa"ter*spout`, n.
A remarkable meteorological phenomenon, of the nature of a
tornado or whirlwind, usually observed over the sea, but
sometimes over the land.
Note: Tall columns, apparently of cloud, and reaching from
the sea to the clouds, are seen moving along, often
several at once, sometimes straight and vertical, at
other times inclined and tortuous, but always in rapid
rotation. At their bases, the sea is violently agitated
and heaped up with a leaping or boiling motion, water,
at least in some cases, being actually carried up in
considerable quantity, and scattered round from a great
height, as solid bodies are by tornadoes on land. --Sir
J. Herschel.
