Earth Tremor Felt at Port Moresby
From Our Own Correspondent.
PORT MORESBY, September 12.
A fairly severe earth tremor was felt in Port Moresby on August 30, early in the morning. Many residents com plained of broken crockery and even of being thrown out of bed in their sleep.
The tremor was considered to be as severe as any yet felt in the district.
