Another Earthquake Felt in Southern Wales
Another earthquake has strayed from the “belt” in which, according to “science,” such phenomena logically belong. This one found its way as far north as the British Isles. A press despatch says that violent shocks were felt throughout southern Wales in the forenoon of June 27. “Houses rocked and many of the cheaper were damaged. Hundreds of chimneys fell, occupants of dwellings were thrown to the ground, and people fled from their houses, shrieking in panic with visions of the San Francisco disturbance before them. Though there were many narrow escapes from falling chimneys and copings, there were no casualties, as far as known.” Earthquake shocks were also felt at Bristol, Ilfracombe, and elsewhere. They were accompanied by loud rumblings. The shocks were felt with particular severity in the collieries, where the men tell of terrific experiences. While underground they were thrown about in all directions like ninepins, and they all left the pits as speedily as possible.”
