 table at which I was sitting seemed to move; and then we 

 distinctly heard the tinware in the kitchen rattling." 



Report of Miss J. Gentle of Webb's Creek. 



" Shock was generally felt by everyone in the district. 

 One man relates that he was talking to another in the

 Beds violently shaken also tables and chairs, articles on
