Texto GILLISS: Earthquake 1851

INTENDENCIA OF COQUIMBO.
Serena, June 3, 1851.

Senor Ministro: On the 26th of May last, at seventeen minutes past one in the afternoon, an earthquake was felt here which was so severe and prolonged that all the population were forced to rush into the streets and plazas. Its duration was about a minute and a half, and its direction was from north to south. No damage was occasioned here nor in any other department of the province. But such has not been the case in those of Atacama, especially in Freirina, where, according to notices received, there has been considerable injury, of which I advise your Excellency (U. S.) JUAN MELGAREJO.
God preserve you.                                              JUAN MELGAREJO.

To the Minister of the Interior.
