Edinburgh, Jan 15. Sunday morning there happened one of the
most terrible storms of wind that ever was felt in this
country. . . [3 sentences describe the storm] 'Tis scarce
possible to tell the consternation the inhabitants were in,
which was heightened by the alarm of the fire drum; the
brewery at the East end of the meadow, belonging to Mr.
Bryson took fire, and the wind increased the flame. . . [25
lines] The houses at the Multries Hill, which lay
prodigiously exposed, are almost all unroofed, and the new
Play-house quite uncovered.
