EARTHQUAKE IN ATLANTIC
FELT BY TWO LINERS (British Official Wireless.) (Rec. November 26, 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, November 25. The Anchor liner Caledonia, which reached the Clyde from New York last night, reported having experienced the effects of the earthquake under the North Atlantic on November 18, off .Sable Island. The water was quite calm and there was little wind, when suddenly the ship was seized with a violent trembling. The captain, fearing a derelict had been fouled, stopped the engines, and had the vessel inspected, but no damage was done. The White Star liner Olympic also experienced the shock of the earthquake, which, as already reported, snapped several deep sea cables.
