174 A SPORTING TRIP THROUGH ABYSSINIA chap, xvi 



One of our workmen, returning home, was struck by lightning and 

 instantly killed. A woman was struck in her house, and now lies 

 partially paralysed. 



These were merely the "light rains," nothing at all, a mere shower, 

 compared with what happens during the real raius in June, July, August, 

 and September.
