dle to one end of another bar, about one foot long, 
and one inch thick , which laid horizontally, and, pal- 
ling to the wall, had been there fattened with lead. 
That the lightening in ruShing along the inclined bar, 
had watted or reduced its thicknefs in fome places 
very considerably: infomuch, that it looked like a burnt 
poker which had been long ufed : and broke the bar 
into two pieces, about an inch above the joining of 
the letter bar; the ends of which had a burnt flaky 
appearance. That the other parts of the bar were 
changed in colour to a grey, or whitifh hue ; refem- 
bling iron, after it has been expofed to a violent heat,

That the horizontal bar had alfo undergone an ex-

That the two foldiers were forced from the wall 
at the fame inttant by the lightening : fo that their 
feet, which were one yard or more from it, were 
neareft to the wall, and their heads the fartheft off. 
That their flefh appeared very black. That their 
cloaths were burnt and fcorehed in many parts : and 
their belts Shriveled up, as if they had been expofed 
to a large fire. That captain Dibden, and other peo- 
ple, felt a difagreeable kind of an eledric Shock, at 
the fame inttant that the foldiers were killed.
