fubterraneous Channels or Caverns, through which 
the Exhalation paffes, are not in any one continued 
ftreight Line, but branched out, and running upon 
ail Points of the Compafs, especially in fuch a vaft 
Extent of Land, 
I am now come to the i 8 th of November , and 
having met with fome further Particulars omitted in 
the preceding Account : I fhall throw them into a 
Pofticript. 
A Neighbour of mine, that has a Well 3 6 Feet 
deep, about three Days before the Earthquake, 
was furprized to find his Water, that ufed to be very 
lweet and lympid, (link to that degree, that they 
could make no Uie of it, nor fcarcc bear theHoufe 
when it was brought in ; and thinking fome Carrion 
was got into the Well, he fearched the Bottom, but 
found it clear and good, though the Colour of the 
Water was turned wheyifli or pale. In about feven 
Days after the Earthquake, hisWater began to mend, 
and in three Days more return’d to its former Sweet- 
nefs and Colour. Iam alfo very credibly inform’d, 
that feveral Springs and good Watering-Places were 
fome of them lower’d, and others quite funk and 
loft with the Earthquake. A worthy Divine in a 
Town about twenty Miles diftant from B oft on , 
allures me, that immediately after the Earthquake, 
there was fuch a Stink or ftrong Smell of Sulphur, 
that the Family could fcarce bear to be in the Houfe 
for a confiderable Time that Night. The like is 
confirmed alio from other Places. Perfbns of Credit 
do alfo affirm, that juft before, or in the Time of 
the Earthquake, they perceived Flalhes of Light.
