  The 
  buildings 
  principally 
  damaged 
  are 
  the 
  jail 
  and 
  the 
  church. 
  

   In 
  the 
  jail 
  the 
  most 
  serious 
  damage 
  has 
  been 
  done 
  to 
  the 
  factory 
  chimney, 
  a 
  

   slightly 
  tapering 
  structure 
  built 
  on 
  a 
  square 
  plan 
  and 
  oriented 
  N 
  62 
  E, 
  N

  8° 
  W. 
  

   The 
  sketch, 
  fig. 
  32, 
  represents 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  the 
  side 
  facing 
  S 
  62 
  c 
  W. 
  

  

  The 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  chimney 
  is 
  uninjured 
  ; 
  the 
  

   -___ 
  side 
  facing 
  S 
  28 
  E 
  aiso 
  shows 
  no 
  signs 
  of 
  injury, 
  

  

  \ 
  J 
  while 
  the 
  opposite 
  side 
  facing 
  N 
  28° 
  W 
  has 
  four 
  

  

  horizontal 
  cracks, 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  has 
  

   moved 
  outwards 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  upper 
  portions, 
  

   forming 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  steps 
  and 
  giving 
  rise 
  to 
  the 
  

   inclined 
  cracks 
  visible 
  on 
  the 
  sketch. 
  They 
  are 
  

   quite 
  similar 
  on 
  the 
  side 
  facing 
  N 
  62 
  E, 
  but 
  

   slightly 
  wider. 
  

  

  The 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  st 
  ructure 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  

   displaced 
  has 
  moved 
  towards 
  a 
  direction 
  N 
  28 
  W, 
  

   or 
  perhaps 
  a 
  few 
  degrees 
  more 
  west, 
  on 
  account 
  

   of 
  the 
  slightly 
  wider 
  cracks 
  on 
  the 
  north-eastern 
  

   face. 
  This 
  may 
  not 
  be 
  the 
  exact 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  

   shock, 
  since 
  the 
  structure 
  is 
  a 
  square 
  one, 
  and 
  

   moves 
  more 
  easily 
  along 
  certain 
  directions. 
  There- 
  

   fore 
  the 
  direction 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  several 
  degrees 
  

   further 
  north 
  or 
  further 
  west 
  than 
  that 
  along 
  which 
  

   the 
  masonry 
  has 
  moved. 
  A3 
  other 
  evidence 
  points 
  more 
  nearly 
  to 
  an 
  east-to-west 
  

   direction, 
  we 
  may 
  abandon 
  the 
  supposition 
  of 
  its 
  having 
  been 
  more 
  towards 
  the 
  

   north 
  than 
  the 
  direction 
  observed. 
  It 
  is, 
  therefore, 
  more 
  probable 
  that 
  the 
  direction 
  

   of 
  the 
  shock 
  was 
  some 
  degrees 
  more 
  to 
  the 
  west 
  than 
  that 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  masonry 
  has 
  

   been 
  observed 
  to 
  move, 
  the 
  limit, 
  however, 
  being 
  the 
  S 
  73 
  E— 
  N 
  73 
  W 
  diagonal, 
  

   for 
  had 
  the 
  shock 
  followed 
  exactly 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  diagonal, 
  there 
  would 
  

   remain 
  little 
  reason 
  for 
  the 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  manner 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  several 
  faces 
  

   have 
  been 
  affected. 
  

  

  The 
  District 
  Engineer 
  in 
  his 
  reports 
  made 
  out 
  the 
  direction 
  to 
  be 
  from 
  N 
  io° 
  W 
  

   towards 
  S 
  io° 
  E. 
  The 
  reasons 
  for 
  this 
  estimate 
  are 
  not 
  given, 
  but 
  itaking 
  

   into 
  consideration 
  the 
  facts 
  above 
  referred 
  to, 
  tne 
  direction 
  given 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  

   too 
  near 
  north 
  and 
  south; 
  we 
  see 
  also 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  the 
  chimney 
  that 
  the 
  

   portion 
  which 
  is 
  displaced 
  has 
  moved 
  towards 
  the 
  west 
  and 
  north, 
  not 
  towards 
  

   the 
  east 
  and 
  south. 
  The 
  structure 
  must 
  have 
  been 
  swinging 
  as 
  upon 
  a 
  hinge 
  

   round 
  various 
  layers 
  of 
  bricks 
  of 
  the 
  wall 
  facing 
  S 
  28 
  E, 
  the 
  oscillation 
  of 
  

   the 
  chimney 
  being 
  in 
  a 
  direction 
  S 
  28 
  E 
  — 
  N 
  28 
  W. 
  This 
  must 
  have 
  

   loosened 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  structure 
  and 
  allowed 
  it 
  to 
  move 
  to 
  the 
  north-west 
  

   under 
  the 
  impulse 
  of 
  the 
  shock. 
  As 
  previously 
  obrerved, 
  however, 
  it 
  is 
  probable 
  

   that 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  oscillation 
  was 
  influenced 
  by 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  structure, 
  and 
  

   we 
  may 
  take 
  it 
  as 
  a 
  rough 
  estimate 
  that 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  shock 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  

   about 
  E 
  30 
  S 
  towards 
  N 
  30 
  W. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  some 
  slight 
  injuries 
  in 
  the 
  prison 
  wards. 
  These 
  are 
  long 
  red-brick 
  

   buildings, 
  consisting 
  of 
  a 
  ground 
  floor 
  and 
  upper 
  story 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  transverse 
  

   partition 
  walls, 
  disposed 
  in 
  a 
  radiating 
  manner 
  round 
  a 
  central 
  tower. 
  This 
  tower 
  

   is 
  intact. 
  The 
  only 
  injuries 
  in 
  the 
  wards 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  transverse 
  walls 
  on 
  the 
  upper
