Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

By advice from Somerfet County, Maryland, we have the following relation, that on the 23rd and 24th of February last there was a great storm of wind and rain. This caused the meadows to overflow and drown several hundred cattle [some say about 1,000 head.] Several storehouses were washed away by the sea, and most of their dry goods, particularly their pork were carried away by the inundation. Some of that in barrels was recovered but the bulk was lost. The Rev. Mr. Adams, Mr. Store the collector and Mr. Deskle with several others were drown as they paddled in a boat from Weckacomica to Anapolis.
