Jullundur. 

 Mr, Pascoe's description continues : — 



The time is wired daily from Lahore to the telegraph office of the 

 Cantonment Railway Station. The Station-master 



Time observations. . . . 



recorded 6-10 by the clock in his room, and this 

 was correct according to the telegraph office clock. 



The Sub-Divisional Officer of Military Works, Sergeant Stuart, re- 

 corded 6-12 by his watch, timed by the daily gun which is said to be 

 generally correct within a minute. I found it over two minutes late, 

 however t on the one occasion I had of testing it. 



The officer in charge of the telegraph office reports that the main 

 shock occurred at 6-10 a.m., the office clock stopping exactly at this 

 hour. At the Post and Telegraph Office, Jullundur City, no clocks 

 stopped, and no time was observed. 



According to the report of the telegraph office, the main shock, 

 Duration and which lasted for about If minutes, was followed by 



number of shocks. slight shocks as follows : — 



One at 6-30, duration 2 or 3 seconds ; others at 9-30 a.m., 1-55 p.m. 

 and 10 p.m. ; but these are evidently aftershocks, and not parts of 

 the original seismic movement. 



Sound. No unusual sound appears to have been noticed. 



In the Railway Station a few bricks fell, and a waiting room has 

 Effects upon two oblique cracks in two opposite walls lying N. W.
