 The morning after the shower Bulduc went out to look at his potatoes. He found furrow four feet deep and nearly as wide running from pine tree by the roadside straight down to the pond. At first he thought the ditch had been gull lied out by the water, but Investigation showed that bolt of lightning had hit the pine, followed the bark down to the ground, and escaped to the pond by way of the potato patch.
