  Documents

  The Earthquake -- A Casualty - House Blown Down at Portage Du Fort THE EARTHQUAKE. A Casualty - House Blown Down at Portage du Fort. The only accident we have heard of, resulting from the late earthquake, occurred at Portage Du Fort, Mr. Swalwell of Ottawa, was about to build a new house alongside the one he was living in at Portage Du Fort, and had finished digging the foundation the evening before. In the middle of the night This house began to tremble and sway violently and at length, with a heavy lurch, it tumbled into the cellar along side of it. There were eleven persons sleeping in the house that night, besides Mr. Swalwell, yet wonderful to relate, not one of them received the slightest injury, although the house was thrown into ruins. - Ottawa Free Press. --The Kingston Whig-Standard, Kingston, Ontario, May 27, 1872 Page 2
