The whole house was shaken to the foundation, and damaged more seriously than any building has ever been before by street blasting here.

At the word “All over’ they did a mountain climbing stunt over the piled up debris, and reached the ruined veranda only to find that it was impossible to open the front door. Framework Strained Owing to the shaking, the frame- work of the house in front is badly strained. All the electric light fittings are thrown out of order, water pipes, and sewer connections have been broken, and all the inside doors in the front rooms will have to be rehung.
