!44 MIDDLEMISS: KANGRA EARTHQUAKE. 



In an officer's quarters at Mian Mir 1 photos and other articles fell 

 into the fender off a mantelpiece lying W. 30.° N. to E. 30° S. : the 

 mantelpiece truncated the corner of a room. 



Summarising the evidence as to direction of the shock, we have : — 



Town Hall. — Approximately from N. and possibly also from 



E. S. E. 

 Post Office. — Approximately from N. or N. N. W. (Any shock 



from E. S. E. would probably have little effect. See plan.) 

 Museum. — Approximately from N. E. and also approximately 



from S. E. (movement of vases, etc.). 

 Accountant-GeneraVs Office. — More from N. than from E. 

 Market. — Approximately from E. S. E. 

 Railway station. — Approximately from E. N. E. 

 Education Office. — Approximately from E. S. E. 

 Bible Society. — Approximately from E. S. E. 

 Golden temple. — Either one shock from N. or else two shocks, 



one from E. 30° S., the other from N. 30° E. 

 Mian Mir. — More from E. than from N. 



It thus appears that either the waves were of a somewhat complex 

 type affecting some buildings differently from others, or else there 

 were at least two shocks proceeding from different points of the 

 compass. 



Earthquake Forms — Lahore. 



Mr. U. S. Worman, Executive Engineer, 2nd Lahore Division. — Sent plans of 

 three public buildings in Lahore showing generally vertical cracks. 



Mr. A. T. Gibson, Imperial Forest School (Dehra Dun). — Time 6-7 a.m. by 

 watch compared with North Western Railway station time. There were first no 

 preliminary tremors, second a sharp oscillation for 1 minute of equal intensity 

 throughout. Third the movement died away. Direction S. W. to N. E. Very 

 distinctly felt. Pictures on N. — S. walls moved. Photos, facing N. fell to S. 

 Walls split in corners. The first shock was accompanied by a strong wind. No 

 other sounds heard.
