78 MIDDLEMISS : KANGRA EARTHQUAKE. 



Owing to the dilapidated state* of this bungalow which is of the 

 common type in Suket, it is easy to see how the walls are made. They 

 are made of stones of all shapes carefully fitted together without 

 cement, covered with about an inch of plaster. 



I have been more than a fortnight in these hills and have felt no 

 earthquake shocks, but at Chindi I was assured that there had been an 

 earthquake five days before my arrival and another twelve days 

 before ; and here at Alsundi the Chokidar says that there was an earth- 

 quake at 3 30 this afternoon. Not one of them have I felt.
