jja Mr. Lloyd’s Account of an 
they firft heard the found, and the fpot they came to when it 
ceafed, I was enabled to afcertain its duration pretty exactly, 
and find it to have been from fifteen to eighteen feconds. Its 
collide was nearly from fouth-eaft to north-weft. Some other 
perfons in our houfe perceived a double fliock; and this has been 
obferved by many who felt it in other places. It was felt at 
Flint by Mrs. seaman and her daughter, who obferved the 
cups rattled upon the faucers as they fat at breakfaft. Mr. 
pennant’s family, at Downing, fancied that an empty wag- 
gon was coming into the back-court, which is paved. It was 
ftrongly felt at Llonrwft by the whole town, and part of a 
ftone wall was flung down. At Carnarvon (which is in the 
fame parallel of latitude as this place, 53 0 jo 7 ) the fhock was 
Very flight. It was perceived in many places about Conway; 
but not at all by any one in town. Sir hugh williams felt 
it very ftrongly at his houfe near Beaumaris. At our friend Mr. 
davies’s, in that town, a door clapped backwards and forwards 
feveral times 5 and at Lord bulkeley’s feat, Boron- hill, the 
family were much alarmed, it was fo violent. It was ftrongly 
felt at Holyhead, and at an eminent folicitor’s in the ifland of 
Anglefey, the defks before feveral clerks in his office fhook fo 
that they could not write. It was ftrongly perceived at Mr. 
fitzmaurice’s, at Lleweny-hall in the Vale of Clwyd, and 
in feveral other places in that Yale. All the peninfula in Car- 
narvonfhire called Lluil, furrounded by St. George s Channel, 
was fhook very much. There have been two fhocks fince this 
I have been defcribing* Mr. pennant felt one ; but I was not 
fenfible of either. The times it was felt at differ very much on 
account of the variations in the feveral dials from whence the 
clocks are regulated ; but I am very exaft as to my own time* 
having the day preceding the earthquake*, and that very day,
