Orig.

of Pleurs."
Rev. Samuel Watson.
Sherbo 97-a: 58; describes how a landslide buried the town and blocked the river flowing through it; the similarity of subject to the account that immediately precedes it (43 [1773]: 281-282), an account signed "S.W." and dated Newport, whence Watson signed items in GM 44 (1774): 161 and elsewhere, lends corroborative evidence to Sherbo's attribution of this item to Watson.
