Selkirk, March 3. `I believe you'll be surprized at the
following relation, which though very extraordinary is
undoubtedly true. Last Friday morning, a little before 4
o'clock I was awaken'd by a noise something like a clap of
thunder which after it had roared for about 4 minutes, dyed
away insensibly; when it ceased, I rose out of my bed, and
look out at window, and seeing the air clear, except two
small windy like clouds, in the north, I concluded it had
been the morning drum, by which I had been alarmed: Next
morning I was told by every body, that there had been an
earthquake, and that it had shaken all the houses in town,
but had done no damage. . . [15 lines]
