Edinburgh, Jan 15. Sunday morning there happen'd one of the
most terrible storms of wind that ever was felt in this
country . . . [13 lines] 'its scarce possible to tell the
consternation the inhabitants were in, which was heighten'd
by the alarm of the fire drum; the brewery, at the east end
of the meadow, belonging to Mr. Bryson, took fire; . . .
[3/4 column, damages described] The houses at the Multries
Hill, which lay prodigiously exposed, are almost all
unroofed, and the New Play-house quite uncover'd.
