 near the lighthouse. 



1896. March 22 ; 7.56 p. m. 



This shock was felt in Charlotte and York Counties, New Brunswick, and in 

 Washington County, Maine. The area disturbed has a diameter of about 

 100 miles, and lies adjacent to the shores of the Bay of Fundy and the 

 Gulf of Maine. 



By correspondence with observers at different points, I have been able to 

 secure some notes on this disturbance. 



E astport, Maine. — The shock took place here March 22nd, at 7.56 (75th 

 meridian time), and lasted four or five seconds. This office is located in 

 the new government building, built of granite, and on a solid ledge. Still 

 the tremor was distinctly felt throughout the building, and more so by 

 those living in wooden houses, The shock had no perceptible effect on our 

 barograph. It had been rising steadily since noon, and I failed to see 

 the least deviation in the trace. D. C. Mokphy,

Beaver Harbor, N. B. — Shock slightly felt here on 22nd March at 8.45 p. m.

 this station. CLARA C. SEELY,

St. Andrews, N. B. — The shock was markedly felt at St. Andrews. A well 

 known gentleman resident there wrote me as follows: "The noise at first 



was very sharp and was succeeded by a gradually lessening sound, and 

 was all over in three seconds. It occurred at 8. 15 p. in." 

 In addition to the above places the shock was felt in all the West Isles, 

 on the mainland northward to McAdam, some distance along the line 



between McAdam and Woodstock, and at St. Stephen and l'enntield. 

 The shock was not felt at St. John, Frederieton. or Yarmouth, X. S.

A light shock was felt on tliis dale at Krcdericton , along the N'ashwaak
