| hearsay:- |
During late July and early August 1908 there were minor earth tremors in the area,
coming from Whiteside. 14 August 1908, W C Hope was bringing in hay at Cornhow when
there was a great groaning rumble, and he saw what looked like a cloud of smoke rising,
and rocks came tumbling down from the mountain side. |
