tinct shocks OF earthquake. OF greater or less
severity, between the Oath OF February and the
middle OF April These occurred at intervals
OF from two to ton days and caused a great
deal OF anxiety among both whites and Indians.
The whites did not know but that any day the
land on which they were living might become
the bed OF the ocean or be cast up in the form
OF mountain. The, Indians, who had known
OF nothing to equal the violence or frequency
ol tho shocks beloved tho Great Spirit to be
angry with them. and We're YeIy much fright
ened. Tie SlhTatiOn was so great at ono time
says Mr' Miller that nan OF water on The stove

Island me earthquakes were still more severe.
