136 M1DDLEMISS: KANGRA EARTHQUAKE. 



loosened and shaken, and appears to have swayed E. and W. about 

 its longer axis, no doubt directing the fall of the cross. 



The Accountant-General's office is not a new building and has 



Accountant-G^ne- several cracks. In the first room the walls run 



raPs Office. almost due N.* and S., and E. and W. In those 



running N. and S. are several vertical cracks, some over 1 inch wide, 



and extending through the whole height of the walls ; the walls running 



E. and W. are free from cracks. In the second room the same thing is 



found : one crack follows the curve of an arched doorway. In the third 



room there is a vertical crack passing through the key of an arched 



doorway. Outside, a shattered brick chimney stack has partly fallen. 



The Deputy Commissioner's office, in the upper of the two stories, 



Deputy Commit has several vertical cracks, especially in corners and 



sioner s Office. over ^q arches. On the roof there is a more or 



less continuous crack parallel to the edges and. about 1 foot distant 



from them all round, the four walls having apparently tended to 



separate at the angles and fall outwards. The chimneys also are 



cracked. The walls of this building run N. to S. and E. to W. 



The market is an old brick building, like a church in plan, with a 

 central " nave " and two lower side " aisles." Its 

 Maiket ' long axis runs W. 20° N. to E. 20° S. Each side- 



wall of the " nave " bears seven gable windows surmounted by 

 seven gable-ends which are parallel to the main axis (pi. 19, fig. 1) 

 and the gable roof carries two towers of wood and slate. The west- 

 ern end-wall of the " nave " has separated from the side walls, and 

 fallen bodily outwards. The eastern end-wall has separated from the 

 side walls, a crack from 1 to 2 inches wide extending up each of the 

 latter. The towers are untouched and none of the gable windows 

 have fallen or received any damage : some of the latter are a little 

 out of plumb, but may have been so before the quake. 



A low brick parapet skirts the rocf of the, " aisles," and has fallen 

 at the western ends of both the latter, breaking the tiles of a verandah 

 beneath, but it is intact alone the sides. 





15° W. according to plan furnished by Mr. Worman, Executive Engineer.
