Mr. b, here tqn’s Account of a Storm of Lightning , &c, 43 
help coming in, and examining his cloaths, which were blue 
cloth, his right fleeve, both of coat and waiftcoat, and aifo Shirt, 
were all torn on the infide of the arm entirely open, as if by a 
dog, from the Shoulder to the wrifl ; the right-fide of the 
breeches was torn in the fame manner, and part of each of 
the brafs buttons melted. 
He had in his fob a gold watch with a fleel chain ; the but-

The frame of the window on which Mr. adair was lean-
