The fifth room is twelve feet two inches long; 
the cornilh much hurt, particularly on the fide in 
contid with the bell wire; there are no vertical 
bands in this room, therefore no apparent vertical de- 
fcents of the lightning. 
The fixth room, which is tire angle to the fourth, 
is much hurt in the cornilli ; it is fourteen feet 
long, and has no gilt bands. 
The feventh room nineteen feet £ long ; no figns 
of damage on the gilding of the ccrnifh, or in any 
other parts' of the room, except the bell wire, 
which was melted, and feemed alone to have con- 
ducted the whole accumulated force of the light- 
ning; to the cornilli of the next room. 
Eighth room; a fedion of which is reprefented 
in the drawing under B. The cornilli being over- 
charged, and the lightning, finding no compleat ver- 
tical condudor, jumped from the pidure frame over 
the door to the gilding of the door cafe, which 
gilding is fix inches wide ; and on one fide where 
the gilding ended, it knocked out a piece of wood, 
which is likewife burnt, or rather finged. The track 
of the lightning is evidently marked on the white 
wall, as if by the flame of a candle, black and yel- 
low ; and the fame fort of tinge is vifible (as repre- 
fented in the drawing) on each flde of the gilding 
of the door. We remarked that the pidure over the 
door was the only one in the room that was in con- 
tad, or near the cornifh. 
The ninth room is eighteen feet long ; the cor- 
nifli is hurt, and the lightning defcended from it to 
a pidure frame over the door, and from thence to ano- 
ther, which was the greateft jump that we remark- 
ed j
