as before noted in tbe barracks to tbe S, of cantonment, namely, of 

 sun-dried bricks as regards the long walls and with end walls of cut 

 stone. Their general direction was N. E. — S. W. 



The Magazine stands on an isolated little knoll at the S. W. end of 

 the cantonment ridge, and consists of a centra] 

 square room very strongly built of well dressed stone 

 and lime mortar. It possesses a strong and heavy arched masonry 

 roof. The whole is surrounded at a few yards distance by a well built 

 stone enclosure wall. The enclosure wall all fell more or less, whilst 

 the building itself was undamaged save for a few cracks.

The enclosure wall facing S. by W. fell outwards quite flat, the 

 wall facing E. by 8. also fell outwards but rather inclined to the 

 south, a little of the debris being inside. The N. by E. wall fell in- 

 wards as a whole. Tbe W. by N. wall Cell irregularly partly inwards 

 and partly outwards. This seems to give a general direction of shock 

 about 8. 6. fi. or fci. Although the magazine was intact E was 

 informed that the ammunition boxes inside were found fcossed 

 about. 



It is clear that the heavy arched roof and the great strength and 

 compact nature of the building preserved it from destruction
