Excerpt from The Cyclopędia, Vol. 1 of 39: Or, Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature
It is remarkable, that whilit one of the light keepers, at the commencement of the fire, was looking up atthe fire in the cupola of the lantern, a body of melted lead fhovvered down upon him, and he declared a quantity had paffed down his throat into his flomach. He lived only 12 days after being taken on fhore; and on opening the body, a mafs of lead was taken from the liomach, weighing more than feven ounces. The curious fadt, of his having 12 days furvived fo alarming an accident, was communicated by his attendant furgeon, Dr. Spry, to the Royal Society, but the circum llauce appeared fo improbable, that it did not, at firlt, meet that credit, which future experiments on animals proved he was entitled to.
