78 COQOIN BROWN i THE BURMA EARTHQUAKES OF MAI 1912. 



shock must have been at least one to one and a half 

 minutes as I had time, first to realize what was going 

 on, then to cross the room and to note the time (9-5 

 a.m.), steady a hanging lamp, rest myself and watch 

 the lamp resume its oscillations. It was a curiously 

 nauseating sensation and caused one occupant of my 

 house to vomit." 



In the "Bangkok Times" of the 25th May 1912, the following 



further reports appeared : — 



1 As the reports come in from the ontlying Monthonfl it- 

 appears that the seismic disturbances of Thursday morning 

 occurred practically all over the country. We have 

 received telegrams or letters from correspondents in 

 Monthon Bayat (Chiengmai, Chiengrai and Nalcon 

 Lampang), Monthon Ratbnri (Petchaburi), Monthon 

 Nakon Sri Thammaraj, Monthon Nakon Chaisi (Maha- 

 chai) and Monthon Kruno- Thepe. The reports from 

 Chiengmai and Tachin have already appeared. Apparent- 

 ly, two distinct shocks were felt in the far north. Our 

 correspondent in Chiengmai reported a slight shock on 

 Tuesday morning as well as on Thursday. Chiengrai 

 also experienced two shocks. No telegram has come to 

 hand from our Puket correspondent, and presumably 

 the shock was not felt there. The later telegrams to 



hand are given below. 



Lakon Lampang. — The earthshook was distinctly felt here. 



Clocks were stopped in a number of houses. No dam- 

 age is reported. 



Nakon Sri Thammaraj.— We only experienced a cyclonic thun- 

 derstorm here. There was no earthquake. A number 

 of roofs were slightly damaged. 



Petchaburi— No earthquake shock was noted here on Thursday. 



Chiengrai.— There was an earthquake shock here yesterday 



(Thursday) morning and another, and minor one, this 

 (Friday) morning." 



His Britannic Majesty's Consul in Chiengmai in a letter to the 

 Assistant Superintendent, Southern Shan States, Keng Tung Sub- 

 division, reported that shocks were felt there on May 21st and 

 23rd.
