On Tuefday, March 28, 1745, O. S. a very remarkable and ReadOa.i, 



extraordinary event happened at the bog of Addergoole, about a 



mile and an half from the town of Dunmore, county of Galway. 



As James Carroll, Efq; * of Killeeny, fupcrintended his men cutting 



turf, about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the day being very 



fuhry, he obferved a fudden and alarming gathering of the clouds 



juft over his head, and had fcarce time to warn his labourers of 



the approaching ftorm, when the moft violent and furprizing rain, 



ever remembered, affailed them, accompanied with a dreadful 



though unknown noife, not fo loud, but as tremendous as 



thunder, a little to the eaft of where they flood : though the 



men ran inftantly towards an adjacent village, they were wet 



to the Ikin before they got half way.
