During the month a volcano was seen and a 

 severe earthquake felt 



For some months previously, especially in 

 March, there was a succession of violent 

 shocks, causing crevices &c, in the open 

 country. On May 1st, about 5 p.m., a level 

 plain near the village of Cotarwen began to 

 subside till the tops of houses became level 

 with the surface of the earth, when sudden 

 ly the whole plain fell in, engulfing 150 per- 

 sons. This became the crater of a volcano 

 1500 feet wide, from which smoke, ashes and 

 stones were sent into the air. A pause till 

 dark succeeded when there was another ex- 

 plosion, and the volcano continued to eject 

 stones and earth
