The flood was 3 Inches higher or the Exeter Quay W^evcr known before, Three vcfiVls, oi M$* bur- den, were thrown completely on the* Quay, and with maeh trouble and danger launched into the river a day afterwards ; many walls were entirely thiuwn down, or carried away ; fcvcral out houfrs deltroycd ; the Mou- ir.outhfhtre militia, in coming item HofartiW were obliged to wade through the water up to their necks.

This coach was diawn by fix horfes, with a poft loy : the waters being higher than thehor- fcs they all fwam with the coach again ft a flrong current, but the pofttllion lofing his feat, clambered up a hedge, the two leading nori'ts immediacy began to turn, which the coachman perceiving, defcended from his teat and cut off the harncfe, being up to his chin in the water ; four of the bodes fwam off, hut the other two were drowned. Six paf- fcngers, after llruggling with the water, got on a hedge, and fiQTQ thence reached a neigh¬ boring houfc. Ano'.her paflcnger, taking a dftrent courfe, remained under a high hedge nine or ten hours, till he was rtlcaled the next morning.
