EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
FELT IN THAMES. JUST ABOUT LUNCH-TIME. A most unusual experience for Thames was a short, sharp earthquake shock about twenty minutes to one to-day, when windows and crockery were rattled, and people sitting at their lunch tables wondered what had happened. Jt iff so long since anything of the sort was felt in Thames that most people did not recognise it as a 'quake, but to those who had been in 'quake areas before the feeling was unmistakeable. Thames is not on the fault lfhe, so it was a distinct novelty. No damage was done locally. The shock was felt at Coromandel, Mercury Bay, Waihi and all over the Plains, but no damage is reported.
