118 MIDDLEMISS: KANGRA EARTHQUAKE. 



In Mangla Khwa's house a wall, 35 feet in height, coursing 

 N. 55° W. displays an instructive fracture hading N. W. at 8°. The 

 width of the fissure increased from one-fourth inch at the ground level 

 to three inches at the top. The wall is a perfectly plane surface 

 without windows or doors. 



In a house owned by the Raja of Chakrauli a wall running 

 N. 30° E. shows a crack hading 25° to N. 30° E. 



The direction of principal movement was probably N. W. — S. E. 

 Pathri. Ten miles south of Hardwar. At the time of 



the quake Mr. W. H. Rushton, Public Works Department, was looking 

 at the Ganges canal, and noticed that the waves caused by the 

 disturbance crossed the canal on a line approximating to N. 15° 

 E. — S. 15° W. Corroborating evidence of this direction of motion 

 was furnished by an embankment wall which by its motion created 

 a gap of eight inches between itself and earth embankment. The 

 walls remain vertical, the earth haying been pushed away from it 

 by the motion. 



This is a large town lying some 3 J miles south of Hardwar. A 

 Jowalapur. number of buildings have been injured, but few 



of them severely. 

 Sertu and Mulla's house. — A wall is cracked vertically. It has 



moved lengthwise to N. 20° E., the resulting fracture being 2 J inches 



wide. 



Dal Chand's house. — A wall coursing N. 20° E. has moved length- 

 wise causing a fracture one inch wide. Several walls and arches 

 running parallel are cracked both vertically and with a hade to the 

 south of 45°. 



Police outpost, — A wall facing N. 30° W. has fallen outwards. 



School. — This is a fair-sized building built of bricks and mud, 

 and aligned N. 20° E. The porch at the south end has separated from 

 the building. The north face of the building has moved outwards 

 fully one inch at the top. There are many other fractures, chiefly 

 structural. The chief motion was in a N.— S. direction.
