IQ4 MIDDLEMISS: KANGRA EARTHQUAKE. 



Wazirabad. 

 Mr. Pascoe's observations continue : — 



In the Post and Telegraph Office no clocks stopped. The time 

 Time was tnou gkt to b e 6- 10, but this is unreliable, even 



supposing the clocks were correct. At the Railway 

 Station also no clocks stopped, and no time was recorded in the Tele- 

 graph Office. The Stationmaster recorded by his watch 6-10 a.m., 

 but the clock in his bungalow stopped at 6-15. Both watch and clock 

 are stated to have been correct. 



After the severe wave, slighter shocks are said to have occurred 

 Number f sh cks approximately at 6-50 and 7-10 a.m. The latter 

 shock was more noticeable than the former. 



There was nothing of much interest to be seen in the buildings ; 

 Effect upon build- the following is a brief summary of the damage 

 ings - inflicted:,- 



The Tehsildar's house, a two-storied one, has cracks, especially 

 in the walls running N. and S.; one crack stretching from roof to base. 

 The S. wall of the top story has separated a little from the re- 

 mainder. 



In four rooms in the Police station cracks were more frequent in 

 walls running N. to S. than in those running E. to W. Two small 

 rooms of different height built side by side on the roof, and lying 

 E. and W. of each other, have separated a little from each other near 

 their common wall. 



House (1) is three-storied and very irregular. A wide crack 

 extends from the roof to the areh of a window in the N. wall. House 

 (2) is an infirm-looking structure and badly cracked. In house (3) a 

 very badly built wall has fallen. 



House (4) is two-storied, and moderately well built. It has suffered 

 more heavily. The S. wall of the upper and part of that of the lower 

 story have fallen, together with the E. wall of the upper story and the 

 roof.
