44 IWr. breretqn’s Account of the violent Storm 
was flattered to pieces, and the pofts of a bed in a room behind 
it, and all the bell- wires were deftroyed. 
Under the dining-room Mr. adair was in, on the parlour 
floor, were his coachman, butler, and footman. The coach- 
man was going to open a glafs-door to go towards the fea, and 
was ftruck dead. His body was totally black. His cloaths, 
and the caul of his wig, and cravat, were much torn ; but no 
particular flefh wound was found. The enamelled face of his 
fllver watch was broken to pieces, and the links of his Heel 
chain fattened together. 
The footman was drefling his hair near a window, when he 
was thrown dead on the ground. He appeared much fcorched, 
bruifed, and black. He had a very large wound in his fide 
which penetrated near his heart ; but very little, if any, blood 
came from it. His buck-fkin breeches were much torn, and the 
tteel of a metal knee-buckle driven through them. The window 
fafh was driven into the room, and a ftone, about eight inches 
fquare, forced out of the wall into the middle of the room, 
not far from the body. The butler was a yard or two behind 
the coachman, and going out with a telefcope in his hand, 
which was forced in pieces from him, his hat and wig were 
thrown to fome diftance, and he perceived a violent preflure on 
his ikull and on his back, but was no otherwife hurt. He had a 
fiver watch with a fiver chain, which received no damage. 
In the room over Mr. adair’s, a young lady was drefling, 
and her maid attending. They were both driven to a diftant 
part of the room, and rendered infenfble for fome time, but 
not hurt. The potts of the bed fhe had juft left were all fhivered 
to pieces, and the bell wires deftroyed, and the chimney thrown 
down on the roof.
