ACCOUNT of an earthquake, which happened 
in the region of Iflamabad on the 2 2d of the 
month Chytt 1168 Bengal aera, anfwering to the 2d 
of April 1762, on Friday about 5 o’clock in the 
afternoon, which, according to the beft advices, I 
have written, and now fend yon. 
Particulars are as follow ; 
The land of Mohamd Affad Chowdhrv of the 
J 
Pargannah Deeang, at a place called Bareeah, is laid 
open by the fhock from 10 to 12 cubits in width, 
and become, as it it were, a deep creek ; the water 
riling upfo, that the ground of the farmers inhabiting 
the place is 8 cubits overflowed. 
And at Deep in the chowdhraij of Mohamd A- 
thijar the like hath come to pafs. 
And Moktaram Fowtahdar, dwelling at Goyparah, 
has written, that to the north and eaft his houfe was 
cracked, and water there fpouted up like a fountain, 
and the ground alfo finks every day by little and 
little. 
And by letter from Satoo Mefter Daroogah of the 
falt-works at Banflbarceah, it fo fell out, that, to the 
weftward, Akl’poorah, an illand of the falt-works, was 
levelled with the water on its eaft fide, and on the 
north and fouth the ground opened from 5 to 7 cu- 
bits in width, and funk like a pit to the depth of 10 
cubits, the water fpouting up ; nor is there the leaft 
appearance of it’s fubfiding : we know not what will 
come of it. 
And from the reports of the people there we hear, 
that thefe places were never before overflowed by the 
water.
