  turned 
  over, 
  since 
  the 
  apex 
  is 
  now 
  lying 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  the 
  railings 
  surrounding 
  

   the 
  tomb. 
  It 
  just 
  touched 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  spikes 
  of 
  the 
  railings 
  in 
  falling 
  

   and 
  bent 
  it 
  slightly 
  outwards. 
  

  

  A 
  square 
  column 
  at 
  the 
  lower 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  Cemetery 
  has 
  fallen 
  over 
  to 
  E 
  30 
  S. 
  

   This 
  measures 
  3 
  feet 
  5 
  inches 
  high 
  by 
  1 
  foot 
  10 
  inches 
  square, 
  with 
  a 
  conical 
  cap 
  

   2 
  feet 
  4 
  inches 
  square 
  by 
  1 
  foot 
  6 
  inches 
  high. 
  

  

  Two 
  other 
  tombs 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  Mrs. 
  Simons 
  have 
  slipped 
  off 
  their 
  founda- 
  

   tions 
  and 
  heeled 
  over 
  to 
  south 
  without 
  breaking. 
  

  

  All 
  these 
  tombs 
  are 
  built 
  of 
  brick 
  masonry.

  The 
  Treasury 
  was 
  a 
  massive 
  brick 
  building 
  standing 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  hill 
  near 
  the 
  river 
  bank, 
  and 
  facing

  A 
  

   reasury. 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  building 
  has 
  fallen 
  out, 
  and 
  

  

  the 
  west 
  end 
  is 
  also 
  destroyed; 
  the 
  remainder 
  is 
  greatly 
  cracked. 
  

  

  15. 
  A 
  large 
  fissure 
  opened 
  beneath 
  the 
  houses 
  along 
  one 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  bazar, 
  

  

  running 
  roughly 
  parallel 
  to 
  the 
  river 
  bank, 
  in 
  a 
  westerly 
  

   Bazars. 
  direction. 
  From 
  this 
  a 
  large 
  quantity 
  of 
  sand 
  was 
  

  

  ejected, 
  filling 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  the 
  houses 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  eaves. 
  The 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  

   ground 
  then 
  subsided, 
  carrying 
  the 
  houses 
  with 
  it, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  roofs 
  are 
  now 
  

   resting 
  on 
  the 
  sand 
  (Plate 
  XXII, 
  fig. 
  1). 
  A 
  view 
  of 
  the 
  fissure 
  at 
  the 
  eastern 
  end 
  

   of 
  the 
  bazar 
  is 
  given 
  in 
  Plate 
  XXII, 
  fig.

  A 
  well, 
  seen 
  at 
  the 
  left 
  hand 
  side 
  of 
  

   the 
  picture, 
  was 
  entirely 
  filled 
  with 
  sand, 
  which 
  was 
  ejected 
  with 
  such 
  violence 
  

   that 
  the 
  wooden 
  cover 
  of 
  the 
  well 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  hurled 
  through 
  the 
  air 
  

   to 
  a 
  distance 
  of 
  several 
  yards.

  The 
  Telegraph 
  Office 
  was 
  destroyed 
  entirely 
  at 
  the 
  beginning 
  of 
  the 
  shock 
  

   Time 
  of 
  shock. 
  and 
  the 
  time 
  was 
  not 
  noted. 
  

  

  17. 
  At 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  my 
  visit 
  slight 
  shocks 
  of 
  earthquake 
  were 
  very 
  frequent. 
  

  

  As 
  a 
  rule 
  each 
  shock 
  was 
  accompanied 
  by 
  a 
  more

  sound, 
  apparently 
  proceeding 
  from 
  

  

  the 
  south-south-east, 
  and 
  generally 
  heard 
  slightly 
  in 
  advance 
  of 
  the 
  shock. 
  

   Frequently 
  the 
  sounds 
  were 
  heard 
  without 
  any 
  shock 
  following, 
  and 
  they 
  then 
  

   resembled 
  very 
  closely 
  the 
  well 
  known 
  " 
  Barisal 
  Guns," 
  though 
  they 
  were 
  not 
  

   so 
  sharp 
  and 
  well 
  defined 
  as 
  I 
  have 
  heard 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  south-western 
  portion 
  

   of 
  the 
  Garo
