quake at Santorini $ and l'ome Perfons afiured me, that 
there was another the Night before, but not fo lenfible 
as i his. If we may judge by ,wbat is paft, our Volcano 
is fo far from drawing fiiortly to an end, that it gets 
new force by other Veins of Sulphur which take Fire 
at a greater d iff a nee. We have Infiances of this in the 
Fire and Flames which rife fo frequ n ly into the Air, 
and fall again over the whole iflaod, making in the 
Night time as fine a Spe&acle as was ever feen in Arti- 
ficial Fire-Works. Befides this, lieveral great Hocks, 
joyning to the Iflaiid, which before were even with 
the Water, have been raifed much higher ; and the 
Noifc, Smoak, and boyling of the Sea, increafe fo 
touch, that rho’ the Inhabitants of Santorini have been 
fo long accuftomed to fee all thefe things, yet they 
could not help being more afraid than before. And 
certainly not without reafon * for the Subterraneous 
Noife was more violent than ever, and continued feve- 
ral Days together without any Intermiffion ^ and in 
the fpace of a quarter of an Hour the Mine difeharged 
itfelf 5 or 6 times ^ the Noife of which, with the great 
quantity of Stones it threw into the Air, the Shocks it 
gave the Houfes, and the Fire which appeared in open 
Day (which was never feen before) very much furpafles 
all that I have before fpoken of it. 
The 1 5 th of April was remarkable above all other 
Days, for the great number and violence of the Claps $ 
by one of which, near too great Stones were mounted 
up all at once into the Air, and fell again at above two 
Miles di fiance in the Sea. Tho’ I was then about three 
Miles off from the New Ifland, I obferved one, of a fur- 
prizing grea.nefs, which did not rife fo high as the refi, 
but was driven farther, in a ftrdt Line, like a Cannon 
Ball. This happened to be Eajler-Day (which was up- 
on April the 41b, Old Stile, which is ufed at Santo- 
rini) and this Circutaftance contributed not a little to 
confirm
