		Several years ago, the following curious incident happened to a farmer, a member of the Society of Friends, residing at ---, near Mosedale. He was carrying a large sheet full of hay, on his shoulders, wherewith to feed his sheep on Carrock Fell, when he, along with his load, was suddenly taken up by one of these whirlwinds. He had, however, presence of mind to slip his arms out of the sheet, as quickly as possible, and before attaining any great height, or he must inevitably have been killed, as the sheet was afterwards found amongst the mountains, at a great distance. As it were, he sustained considerable injury. However incredible this occurrence may seem, I am quite prepared to vouch for its authenticity.
