Remarkable exploits and storms across Atlantic towns
An early modern column recounts acts of courage in Monaghan with John Bond and Hale's light dragoons, plus a Havana diary note on a doomed quartermaster Frazer. It also surveys distressing weather events from Dereham to Bristol, including hail damage and ship wrecks, and chats of storms, duels, robberies, and London crime as reported from August.
