During heavy storm week ago, while
the guides were showing large party
through the Luray Caverns in Virginia,
the lightning struck one of the electric
light wires and was carried into the caves,
while it ran over the wires from one end
to the other. The electric light globes
were shivered into fragments, and the
lightning gathered into big balls along the
wire and exploded with loud reports.
rThe scene for several minutes was ter
iflc beyond description The lightning
flashes along the wires looked like frey
serpents. One bolt shot from the wires
and scattered the stalactites of the bridal
chambers When it disappeared some of
the party were left in total darkness.
