II. Forsyth and lady were returning
from Havcrhill, on the Fourth. and
crossing the river on the bridge that
spans the Connecticut. near South
Ncwbury, formerly known as
Bcadlc's" bridge, and had proceed
ed to near the centre of it when the
tornado that was then aging, struck
il which soon laid it in ruins. The
first indication of their danger was
the falling of timbcrs in front of
their horse; but the presence of
mind of Mr.. Forsyth, enabled him to
apply the lash to their horse. and
by his lcaping the fallen timbers
they succeeded in gaining the land,
and thus probably saved their lives.
On gaining the land, they looked for
the bridge, but it was gone. On
reaching the toll gate they found Il
stick of timber lying across the
forward aNletrcc of their carriage
and dragging on the ground under
the hind aXletrce.
