or woman or child to do when caught
in the open in a thunder storm? They
may take shelter, says Sir Ray lank-
ester, in a wood, though not under any
isolated tree nor under q long high
hedgerow.
They should ask for shelter in any
available house or cottage Failing
this they may CAS- goats and sheep
and cattle do) set under 2 low-lylng
rockfacc or into a ditch, or dry mole,
or even II the storm Is close round

less dangerous to be wet through than
