Extract of a letter from Berkley (in this province
[Massachusetts]) dated the 24th ult.
We had a very threatning alarm on the 10th of this month,
about ten o'clock in the forenoon, which arose from the
north-west, and proceeded to the south-east. The noise
resembled the regular discharge of three small cannon; after
which, a sound was heard, like the beating of a number of
drums, which continued for the space of six minutes, as near
as I can judge. I am informed, the same was heard through
great part of the country.
