35^ Proceedings relative to the Accident 
The body of the building, including the great houfe with 
its annexed offices, is provided with eight chimnies, the pofi- 
tion of which is reprefented in the plan (fig. i.) at the letters 
-A, h>, C, D, E, F, G, H. Of thefe the fix firft are all placed 
on the ridges of the roof; namely, A and B on the ridge of 
the weft flank, c. and I) on the ridge or the center range, and 
E and F on the ridge of the eaft flank ; but the chimney G 
riles from the lower part cf the roof on the eaftern fide of the 
call: flank ; and the chimney H from the roof of an annexed 
office, tire boiling-room, which roof is continued down from 
the general root, and projects beyond it. 
Both flanks (X and Y, fig. i.) at their north and fouth ends 
are hipped old from the ridge of the roof to the eaves on each 
fide.; confequently there are eight hips, all of which are co- 
vered or coped with lead ; the four rallies alfio, formed by the 
hiterie&ion of the center range with the two flanks (fee fig. i .) 
aic m like manner covered with lead, which here anfwers the 
purpofe of a fpout. (Two of thefe hips are (hewn in the 2d, 3d, 
4th, and 1 1 th figures at h , /?, and one of the vallies at 11, fig. 
2.) Thole twelve ftrips of lead, covering the hips and the 
vallies (fee the general plan, fig. 1.), are all feparate, not hav- 
ing any metalline communication with one another, as the reft 
of the loot confifts merely of pantiles, with dropping eaves. 
From the fouth-eaft corner of the eaft flank a wall is conti- 
nued eaft ward (fee I in the ift and 3d figures) above 26 feet in 
length, having a fmall garden at its fouth fide, and on the 
1101th a liable built againft it as a lean-to (K in the ift and 4th 
figures) ; which liable is alfo fupported on the weft by the eaft 
wall of the eaft flank of the building (fig. 1 . at /yh The roof of the 
liable being like that of a fihed, Hopes downward from fouth to
