     A recent number of the Caleutta Gazette contains an account of an 
aerolite, which fell at Shergotty on the 25th August last. A native, who 
witnessed its fall, states that about 9, A. M. a stone fell from the 
heavens, accompanied by a very loud report, burying itself in the earth 
knee-deep, and at the same time the sky was cloudy and of a murky color, the 
air calm, and no rain. The stone has been forwarded by the Government to the 
Asiatic Society of Bengal.

The NPA in the subject line stands for Newspaper Article. The old list 
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is 
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
