part of the Scull, and the whole Chin, were 
burnt to Afhes 5 amongft which were found three 
Fingers blacken’d. All the reft was Afhes, which 
had this particular Quality, that they left in the 
Hand, when taken up, a greafy and (linking 
Moifture. 
The Air in the Room was alfo obferved cumber’d 
with Soot floating in it : A (mall Oil-Lamp on the 
Floor was cover’d with Afhes, but no Oil in it. 
Two Candies Ln Candlefticks upon a Table flood up- 
right j the Cotton was left in both, but the Tallow was 
gone and vanifhed. Somewhat of Moifture was about 
the Feet of the Candlefticks. The Bed receiv’d no 
Damage; the Blankets and Sheets were only railed 
on one Side, as when a Perfon rifes up from ir, or 
goes in : The whole Furniture, as well as the Bed, 
was fpread over with moift and afh colour Soot, 
which had penetrated into the Cheft-of drawers, even 
to foul the Linnens : Nay the Soot was alfo gone 
into a neighbouring Kitchen, and hung on the Walls, 
Moveables, and Uteniils of it. From the Pantry a 
Piece of Bread cover’d with that Soot, and grown 
black, was given to feveral Dogs, all which refufed 
to eat it. In the Room above it was moreover taken 
notice, that from the lower Part of the Windows 
trickled down a greafy, loathfome, yellowifh Liquor 5 
and thereabout they fmelt a Stink, without knowing 
of what; and faw the Soot fly around. 
It was remarkable, that the Floor of the Chamber 
was fa thick fmear’d with a gluifh Moifture, that it 
could not be taken off ; and the Stink Ipread more 
and more through the other Chambers.
