The fall at Evora Monte, Portugal, 1796

Early in the afternoon of 19 February 1796 to loud explosions, reminiscent of those of military mines, were heard and a stone fell at Evora Monte in Portugal. by sheer chance Robert Southey (174-1843), the future Poet Laureate of England, passed through the town soon afterwards and obtained a copy of the testimony sworn by witnesses before a magistrate.
