IN NOVA SCOTIA. — WOODMAN.] 233 



At Truro, only one person has reported the shock. 



(2) In bed, awake. 



(3) Between two and three o'clock a. m. 

 (3a) No. 



(3b) Two principal disturbances, lasting about ten seconds 



each, with about live seconds intervening. 

 (3c) Yes. 



(3d) From west to east, distinctly. 

 (3e) No objects overturned. 



(5) About 25 seconds. 



(6) "It seemed as though someone took hold of side of 



bed and shook it violently, lifting it up and down ; 

 as though it were taken hold of on the west side. 

 Everything w^as still, and then in a few seconds the 

 same thing happened again. It woke a person in 

 this house and another in the next house." 



(7) No sound noticed. [Mrs. S. V. Mack, Park St., Truro]. 



It appears not to have been felt at Westville, Stellarton, or 

 New Glasgow, in the Pictou carboniferous basin. Inquiry 

 shows it not to have been felt at Pictou. At one ,time thera 

 was expectation of receiving data from one locality in Prince 

 Edward Island, but none have come, and it is probable that the 

 shock was not felt there. I have heard a statement, as yet 

 unverified, that it was detected at Siyringliill. It was not felt, 

 I believe, along the Chignecto shore from Joggins Mines to 

 Apple River. 



At Middle Musquodohoit, at the home of Mr. Robert Kaul- 

 back, the table in the hall shook, and a bed. The motion was 

 from the side, and appeared to come from the west. 



The Halifax and Sydney papers gave circumstantial 

 accounts of the shock in the Sydney district ; but careful inquiry 

 at Sydney, North Sydney, Sydney Mines and Glace Bay indi- 

 cates that there was no basis for the story.
