The fame thing happened a fecond time in the Year 
J 4 57. as appears by a Latin Infcription upon a Marble 
ac Santorini : But with this difference, that the Sub- 
terraneous Fire, a r ter having raifed to the height of 5 
or 6 Foot above the Water a vaft quantity of Rocks, 
which formed a fpace about a Mile in Circumference, 
opened a Paifage for the Sea-Water to enter, by which 
it was extinguifh’d j and the middle of that fpace re- 
main’d fo low, that the Sea flowing into it by a Sub- 
terraneous Canal, made there a fmall Lake, which con- 
tinues to this Day.

Five Days before it appeared, viz, on the 1 8th of 
Majy between one and two of the Clock in the After- 
noon, there was at Santorini an Earthquake, which was- 
$ot violent, and continued but a Moment : And in 
the Night between the 2 2d and 23d, there was alfo 
another, which was yet lefs fenfible than the former. 
It is natural to imagine, that it was then, that the 
New Ifland firft began to move and raife itfelf from the 
Bottom of the Sea : Yet, if. we conlider* that thefe two.
