There was another burn, 12 inches long and three inches wide, passing from just above the crest of the ilium forward and downward to the symphysis pubis.

The next burn began at the patella of the right knee, extending to the bottom of the heel, upon reaching which it wound around the inner side of the leg.
About four inches below the knee a sound strip of cuticle, about 1 1/2 inches, was left intact.

The lightning passed off the heel of the foot, bursting open the heel of a strongly sewed gaiter-boot.

The woman was rendered unconscious but subsequently recovered.
A remarkable feature of a lightning-stroke is the fact that it very often strips the affected part of its raiment, as in the previous case in which the shoe was burst open.

In a discussion before the Clinical Society of London, October 24 1879, there were several instances mentioned in which clothes had been stripped off by lightning.
