A. D- 



san. The town of Diighabad, after the earthquake, looked 

 to be an immense heap of bricks. From 700 to 800 dead 

 -bodies were dug out from the debris. In one house alone 

 about 70 corpses were found : there had been a bridal party, 

 and, curious to relate, the bride alone was saved. She 

 attempted to jump out of the window, when the house 

 tumbled down ; but the wood of the window frame did 

 not break, and she was saved." — Ibid.
