head; the wind has roared, and the waves at

one moment have thrown me to the sky, and

the next have sunk me into a deep abyss. I

have been in action, and have seen death and

destruction around me in every shape of

horror; but I never before had the feeling of

awe which seized me on this occasion, and still

haunts, and I fear forever will haunt me. My

porter, the boldest of my family, who had

ventured an instant from the door, had been

knocked down by a hailstone, and had they

not dragged him in by the heels, would have

been battered to death. Two boatmen were

killed in the upper part of the village, and I

have heard of broken bones in abundance.

Imagine to yourself the heavens suddenly

frozen over, and as suddenly broken to pieces

in irregular masses of from half a pound to a

pound weight, and precipitated to the earth.”
