The  most  striking  phenomenon  produced  )

by  the  tremblor  was  a chasm  three  feet  wide 
and  beween  200  and  300  feet  long.  Although 
wegihts  attached  to  lines  several  hundred  feet 
in  length  were  let  down,  no  bottom  could  be 
found.

From  this  remarkable  fissure  issues  a smoky 
vapor  which  disappears  after  a few  hours,  but 
the  air  in  the  neighborhood  is  permeated  with 
a gaseous  odor  very  irritating  to  the  lungs.  The 
people  in  the  neighborhood  are  very  much  ■;

alarmed,  fearing  a repetition  of  the  earthquake,  i 
and  the  superstitious  Indians  are  holding  reli- 
gious rites  to  placate  the  Evil  One.
