Murcia, on January 20, but no serious
damage was done. The walls OF only
h few houses were cracked. Slight
shocks were also felt in the village
of Olias.

itants fled panic-stricken to the
suburbs, fearing that a disaster was
upon them such as devastated Sicily
and southern Italy.
1t is reported that the moment the
earthquake occurred the sun was hid.

however, disappeared Immediately,
while a shower of hailstones as large
as walnuts covered the ground to a
depth of several centimeters.
The reports Of tidal wave prob.

have been received from the Catalo-
MON coast during the past fortnight or
so to that effect that little by little
the sea was encroaching on the land
Up to the present time the damage
from this has been Insignificant.
