LARGE CITIES OF THE PLAINS NEAR THE VIIth ISOSETST. ^9 



Distance of middle dent from the centre of the square base of the 

 steeple = 41 ft. 



From these figures, the horizontal velocity of the cross works out 

 to be 12*7 ft. per second. 



The steeple like the rest of the church is of brick, and about 16 

 feet below the apex, a horizontal crack extends all round. [Query — 

 Is this where the iron core ends?] Inside the church there are 

 several cracks above the arches, but these are not serious ; a rather 

 more conspicuous crack occurs over the circular window in the W. wall, 

 another over the doorway. 



At the W. end of the R. C. Church is a square embattled tower, 

 whose bearings are N. 10° W. to S. 10° E. by B. 10° 



Roman Catholic . . 



Church. N. to W. 10° S. Within the corners of the roof of 



this tower were four small turrets ; the two on the 

 E. have fallen and fractured the corner battlements especially that on 

 the N. E. The N. W. turret was leaning out of the perpendicular 

 and part of the corner battlement had fallen. The S. W. turret was 

 intact, but a small part of the brickwork under this battlement was 

 missing. In short the corners of the tower have been affected, whilst 

 the intermediate battlements with one exception on the N. are as 

 they were previously. 



Inside are a few small cracks over arches. 



A chimney has partly fallen from the Military prison, and verandah 



arches are cracked in many cases. Some old cracks 



^ . in the N."to S. wall of the main corridor have been

quite unaffected. 



A transverse partition wall in the Infirmary — direction N. :$o° W. 



to S. 35° E. — has three very bad cracks, one over the 



side of the arched doorway, and two extending from 



floor to roof beside the chimney flue. This wall 



required dismantling. 



The British Infantry, the Cavalry, and the Royal Horse Artillery bar- 

 racks, all show small cracks. Thev are solidlv built, 



Barracks, ... 



with thick walls, and have sustained little damage. 

 Some of the Cantonment bungalows were badly cracked.
