'QUAKE SCARE.
Repeated Tremors Alarming' Narromine. OMINOUS RUMBLING. (Received 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. Earth tremors continue to scare the residents of Narromine. During the week-end four additional shocks were felt, and the underground rumbling continued for a considerable time over a wider area than before. People rushed into the streets when buildings shook, crockery rattled, pictures swung out from the walls, plaster fell, chimneys crashed and bricks split in the walls. Tremors were also felt at Wellington, 248 miles north-west of Sydney. Earthquake shocks were also recorded at Narromine on March 2 and May 20.
