tion and enquiry found that the water rose to a height of as much as 6 

 feet at various places within a distance of 30 miles (see map, pi. 29). 

 He felt the shock in the Bhimpur bungalow, which rocked so much that 

 he could hardly make his way to the opposite end of it, where his wifc 

 and child were sleeping, although no damage was done to the bungolov . 

 "Immediately after the earthquake," he writes, "my attention was 

 called to a loud noise coming from the main line of the Bari 1 

 Ganal which, at the point of observation, runs in a 40 feet cutting about 

 20 yds. from the bungalow. I found the canal which was here 150 feet 

 wide, in violent agitation and swamping ground 6 feet above the usiia; 

 water level ." He also found the points of greatest intensity to be 

 those where the canal ran N.N.E. — S.S.W., and the water, accord- 

 ing to a reliable witness, first went over the bank to the E.S.E. and 

 afterwards to the opposite bank, reaching a slightly lower level 

 there. On the other hand the Kasur Upper Branch, which takes ofr 

 at Tibri (near Gurdaspur) and which runs in a direction N.W. — 3.E. 

 had no movement of water observed at all. In another case at Sathiflli 

 two branches take off at right angles to one. another in the directions 

 N. by W. and W. by S., and here the height to which the water rose 

 was 5 feet in each case. Mr. Kanthack concludes from these observa- 

 tions that the tilting of the ground which produced the rise must have 

 had a direction about E.S.E. — W.N.W. He notes it as peculiar that 

 from the head of the canal at Madhopur down to mile 12, at Bhimpur, 

 although the canal runs generally N. — S., the water only rose 1 ft. 

 or less on the east bank. The velocity, however, in this upper part is 

 . much greater and may account for this. 



At Khanki in the Gujranwala District (see p. 204) the water has been 



Lower Chenab described as rising in the river and in many of the 

 CaDa1 ' canal branches to a height of 0*20 to 0'40 [ ? feet]. 



Mr. R. R. Simpson (p. 116) has referred to the breaking of the 



Other canals, etc. Bhim g oda " bund " near Hardwar on the Ganges. 

 He has also described (p. 124) the case of the Solani , 

 aqueduct on the Ganges Canal. At Raya, Amritsar district (see p. 192), 

 water from the canal spread over the canal bank. At Dadupur on the
