3 6 Mr. More’s Account of an Earthquake , &c. 
fhaking violently the beds, the chairs in the rooms, and the 
fafhes of the windows. At Cartmeal, a town about five miles 
from hence, it was alio felt very feverely ; and at the village 
of Carke, two miles from Cartmeal, a gentleman (Mr. 
Fletcher Stockdale) tells me, he was awake fome time 
before the fhock ; that he firif heard a rumbling noife, like a 
carriage at a dr-ftance, aild was conlidering what carriage could 
be moving at that hour, when he felt the fhock. The noife 
continued fome time after the fhock was over ; and he thinks 
the whole might laft about four or five feconds, and it feemed 
to travel from the eaff to the weftward. Almoff every body in 
the neighbourhood of Carke and Cartmeal were awakened by 
it, and fome perfons much alarmed ; but I do not find that, 
at any part where I have been, any damage has been done by 
it. At Lancafler, about ten miles eaft of Cartmeal, it was 
very plainly felt, particularly, as I am told, in the great 
tower of the Caftle. It appears to have extended as far as 
Manchefler, where it was flightly perceived. 
Thefe are the particulars I have hitherto been able to collect 
relative to this earthquake, of which I doubt not you will have 
many accounts fent you ; but if thefe fadls furnifh any thing 
not mentioned by your other ccrrefpondents, it will afford 
great pleafure to, Sir, &c.
