thrown up, and at the same time water spoiited several feet into 
the air. 
In the Luskerpore valley the damage done was similar in inten-

the buildings, being sheltered by the hills, suffered little damage 
beyond cracks in the walls. In the Manager's bungalow a fuU- 
sized billiard table standing on a perfectly level cement floor was 
rotated through a few inches in a clockwise direction ; a plan showing 
its position before and after the earthquake shock is given below :

east and many leaf-houses were down. The factory also was badly

A shed, near the factory, having a corrugated iron roof and used 
apparently as a store, had collapsed ; the roof was supported partly 
by a wall and partly upon brick pillars and in falUng it had acquired

The eastern gate-post of the bungalow had been cracked through 
just above ground-level and the upper portion moved bodily over 
the lower in a east-north-east direction through a distance of 8
