incifion, about three inches long, ana as many wide,, 
from which a piece of that quoit, of the fame dimen- 
fions, was carried off, and in the fame manner, as if 
a mufket-ball had been fir'd at it. The lightning, 
from this rock fpread itfelf to the fouth, in two 
branches G and M breaking and rooting up fome. 
(tones, and making its way clear under others, and 
appearing again on the other fide. Thefe laft-men- 
tioned furrows were ten inches wide, and a foot deep 
belides which, we found- l'everal places in the hill, 
which had holes about a foot wide, and 6 or 8 inches 
deep, and feveral clods cut thin and clear off from 
ground : which (hews, that as this lightning went 
like darts through banks and hones, and tore up the 
ground in many places like a ploughfhare, fo in other 
places it fpread into an horizontal thin edge, which, 
fcooped up and carried off the little unevenneffes of 
the turfy, ground.. The whole workings of this light- 
ning were in length about a furlong from weft to eaff 
There were feveral people not far from the hill at 
this time,, whofe names I will not trouble you with. 
Two women, one half a mile, the other but a quar- 
ter of a mile diftant, faw a fmoke, at the Karn above- 
mentioned, as if feveral mufkets had been difcharg’d 
there. A third woman, not a furlong diftant from 
the Karn, faw the town-place, where her houfe was,, 
as it were all on fire and during this dreadful thun- 
der, the fheep on the hill ran to and fro, as if driven . 
by a pack of dogs. This hill of Moelfra is the high- 
eft land between north and fouth fea in this part,, 
about two miles from the former, and four from the 
latter. The wind was at weft, and weft-north- weft.
