Abstract
Sept. 14, 1716. Thames Dry.—After an excessive drought, which continued from February to the end of August, a strong west-south-west wind prevented the tide from coming in for 24 hours, so that there was only a narrow channel some 10 yards wide, and so shallow that thousands of persons passed across on foot, under the arches of London Bridge.
