Supposed place of greatest violence 

 on earth's surface. 



Terrible shock felt in a ship, which 

 lasted 3'. Other shocks followed 

 till lli'34' A.M. 



Four shocks felt. Walls moved from 

 E. to W. Smoke issued from the 

 sea and sea-shore. Coast perma- 

 nently raised in some places. 



Three shocks in quick succession, 

 which came from the NW. and 

 destroyed most of the city. Three 

 refluxes and fluxes of the sea suc- 

 cessively, which began immediately 

 after the second shock, or 10' from 

 beginning of earthquake. In 4' 

 after the sea retired, a wave of 30 

 feet in height broke on the shore. 



Three shocks. In a few minutes 

 after, great waves broke on the coast. 



In half an hour after the earthquake, 

 sea broke on coast in three suc- 

 cessive waves. 



At 11 A.M. the sea broke on coast 

 in six successive waves (which were 

 above 25 feet in height), with in- 

 terval of 20' between each of the 

 first three, and 40' between each 

 of others. 



Three shocks. Sea afterwards broke 

 on land and did much damage. 



Several shocks, which lasted about 

 6'. Several buildings shaken. Mo- 

 tion of ground not great. 

 'Earthquake lasted altogether about 

 2'. Earth had first a tremulous and 

 then an undulating motion. Two 

 shocks at least. The sea rose every 

 15' till 2 P.M. 



Shocks felt to come from eastward. 

 At 12^ 1' the sea broke on island, 

 and rose highest on NE. side. 

 It retired first. 



Some of the ships in dock pitched, 

 whilst others lying obliquely to 

 them rolled. 



Vessels tossed. Sea oscillated N. 

 and S.
