Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Part I January 1841

1841

On the evening of the 29th of June we reached Sooltanpoor the capital of Kooloo and found kedgings ready for us in the jlouse of the former Wuzeer of Kooloo. [...] dence on accounVf the conquest of the country by the Sikhs and the expilsion of the ffaja of Ludiitth. [...] 'Here we parted company on the morning of the 15th of July ; the one to ascend the Bhaga river and to return to Simla by the Spiti river ; and the other to follow the Chundrabhaga and to proceed through Burmawur on the Boodhil river to Chumba and from thence to Kashmeer. [...] The lightning first fell on the point the concussion shivered the spear and the arm of the statue; from the point it struck the copper of the dome and thence by three divisions it entered the house as described in the accatnpanying report. [...] The lightning seems to have been attracted to the building by the iron at the point of the spear attached to the figure of Britannia on the top of the dome ; after demolishing the spear it pursued its course down the external copper of the dome without apparently doing any injury and forced its way into the ball room in three separate places.
