Anecdote

, in Kempsey, New South Wales, Australia, on 29 October 1913 NARROW ESCAPE.
During Saturday's severe thunder-storm at Yurravel, Ivor Turnbull, the 15 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Turnbull there had a most miraculous escape from instant death. The lad, standing outside, close to a little kitchen annex containing a stove, was watching the storm, when lightning struck the building, splintering every slab in it and throwing the boy to the ground unconscious. His mother and his brother, a little away from him, were for a short time dazed with the lightning flash, and on recovering were horrified to find Ivor lying near their feet, curled up and apparently dead. The struck youth was instantly removed to the house and what remedies at hand applied by his anxious parents ; but he did not recover consciousness for two hours, and 'twas much later when Dr. Gilchrist pronounced him out of danger. It is a wonder he survived, seeing the lightning left a black mark the size of one's hand on his back.⁵
