0| In this direction the earthquake was much 
more severely felt. Kati, a town on the 
Bhote frontier, on the road to Lassa, is 
said to have been nearly all destroyed, it con- 
tained about 600 houses ; 50 of which only 
remain. At Listi gaon, also on the Bhote 
frontier, alarge portion of a_ hill came down, 
and an iron bridge was destroyed. 
At Kan Sing Choke, in the same direction, 
vulgar report says, that for five days before 
the “earthquake took place, noises similar to 
the firing of cannons were heard as if under 
ground: and in this neighbourhood the high 
road to Lassa is said to be in many places 
blocked up by the fallen earth from the 
mountains. 
3| One small temple destroyed, and the large 
3lone alittle injured. The form of the large 
llone must have preserved it. It is the chief 
2|Buddhist Temple in the valley, built in the 
fashion of that religion—an immense cir- 
cular mound of brick work, surmounted by 
a 4-sided spire or jweet. 
4| The house of a Captain much injured here. 
Contains 532 houses, and is built along the

surrounding part of thevalley. Its tenements 
are old and frail. To account for its escape, 
the inhabitants say, “‘ That some nights previ- 
40\ous to the earthquake, and on the memorable 
10|night itself, a large tiger or leopard paraded 
3\several streets of the town, without molest- 
ing any of the inhabitants. This forbearance 
was reciprocal, for the ‘‘ guardian angel’’ was 
2\allowed to continue his protecting visits: the 
ljadmiring crowd, firm in the belief of correct 
15|vision, hailed him as Ramgt’, another incarna- 
2\tion of the ‘‘ great preserver.”’
