"And it rained for forty days and forty nights"

"Merciful heavens!  The whole west, from right to left, blazes up with a
fierce light, and next instant the earth reels and quivers with the awful
shock of ten thousand batteries of artillery.  It is the signal for the
Fury to spring--for a thousand demons to scream and shriek--for
innumerable serpents of fire to writhe and light up the blackness.

Now the rain falls--now the wind is let loose with a terrible shriek--now
the lightning is so constant that the eyes burn, and the thunder-claps
merge into an awful roar, as did the 800 cannon at Gettysburg.  Crash!
Crash!  Crash!  It is the cottonwood trees falling to earth.  Shriek!
Shriek!  Shriek!  It is the Demon racing along the plain and uprooting
even the blades of grass.  Shock!  Shock!  Shock!  It is the Fury
flinging his fiery bolts into the bosom of the earth.--"  M. Quad.

Claimant")
