THE EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

United Press Association-—By Electric [Telegraph

Ohristohurch, November 18 . Another slight) shook ct earthquake was felt here jußt before eight o'clock tonight Mr Hall Jones arrived from the south tonight, and will sjo on to Cheviot Mr Rutherford's house aucl contents at MencHp Hills were wrecked: The family Is camping out in tents. Mrs and Miesee Rutherford had narrow escapee Slaotan River, in the vicinity of Mendip, ii dammtd by slipa, and has formed two large lakes. In Dome places whole hill sides have slipped away, and roads are blocked for wheel traffic There is very little teal cause for alarm at Hanmer Springs, but ao Ada Valley, 35 miles away, rooks colled down the hill sides among men's tentß j The editor of the Lyttelton Times tele graphed! to Mr W T Kobinaon, Cheviot, asking if a collection of funds for the Immediate relief of sufferers by the earth quake would be accepted, and received the reply :—" Few cases urgently require help, Rod though we shall do what we can locally, the cooperation of our Ohristohuroh friends Will bo very acceptable. Several families loat their homes and practically »U their belooglngs, and are absolutely destitute, A large exodus of women and children Cook place today, bud as far as I uud&ratand all •re going to friends." Christohuboh, November 19 (There were a number of shocks at Cheviot last night; After the hea^y convulsion at eight o'olcok, which caused a mild panic, up to eleven thin morning there have been bo tremors today, Mr Hal! Jones left this morning for Cheviot, and Sir Joseph Ward ii expeoted to arrive there at daylight to morrow. Wellington, Nov 18 Mr Hogben, lospeotor-Gensrul of Schools, who is in charge of one of the two sensitive eeiatologioal instruments imported by the Government, has examined the record taken by the machine. He states that the seaS of disturbance appears to have been in the Lake Bumner district. The maximum vibrations listed for two minutes. The shock began Without any warning at 7.47^ a.m. The vibrations which constituted the esrtl quake proper went; on for 9| minutes and large tremors went on for 71 minutes, Small tremors were going on all Saturday up till tan at aight, when Mr Hogben cut the record paper* A solid block of stone on which the •eismometsr stands waa slightly fcilbsd towards the west, Mr Hogben says that If Bbc tilt were general throughout the colony, which he thinks improbable, it would mean that the West Coast would eiak six laches and that the East Coast would be raised three inches. The Postmaster at Cheviot telegraphed at 7.30 to-night—" Regret to report two of the severest shocks sinoe Saturday morning. People are in a state of deep depression and have again taken to tents," Wellington, November 19

The Government in sending Mr McKiy, fcho geologist attached to the Mines Depart ment, to Cheviot), to report on the eoientiSo nspaot of the disturbance?, The Postmaster at Cheviot, te'egraphinjz to the Secretary of the Department at 8 ft m, says they have to report- another depressing night* Since my last, there has been a number of minor diaturbanoee, inter mingled with one or two more severe and serious sheeke. None, however, have done any additional damage, chitfly because practically all the do mage from vvhioh the tettlemenb can Buffer has already been done. 1 regret to say that after the promise of a much needed cooling rain lasb night, the weather ban again changed thia morning, aad it is oppressively close with a ecorching Eura. This will add so the troublea of the farmers, whose land ia parched, and the orope are consequently in nearly all eases failures). Tne Obrietchurch news papers have already started a relief fund. It muab not bs understood, however, that the settlers are destitute. Almost, without exception, their homes are badly damaged, sad Sn some cases destroyed, while one or two business people in McKetzie itself, who have no available capital, have loeb their all. It ia these latter who will bent fib by the relief fund, the chief use of which will Hob be to buy food, but to enable them to make another Btart. The impression ab road that people are absolutely destitute is Incorrect, though several are ruined,

ASSISTANCE FROM THE GOVERN MENT.

: Wellington, Nov 18 At a meeting of the Cabinet tonight the fjaestion of the damage done at Cheviot was considered by tha Ministers. Ib was decided to rtquest the Hon Mr Hall-Jones, who Is at present in Christohurch, to proceed to Cheviot tomorrow morning and investigate affairs. Whan his report is made the Mini mbors will take action, Ib is probable that extensive relief measures will be at once jaetitntad by the Government.

Oar Rakaia correspondent writes;— The earthquake wa« not severe here, and many never felt its The news that Christchurch bad suffered a little was received with regret, but on Monday morning when the papers gave particulars of the heavy damage and lose of life farther north, there was quite a consternation and heartfelt sympathy expressed for the sufferers*

The Earthquake at Cheviot

EXPERIENCES OF AN EYE WITNESS.

A member of our staff has received the following interesting and graphic account of tho writer's experiences during the exciting lime'at Cheviot on Saturday morning and after;— The terror of seismic disturbances In New Zealand baa received a new and fearful con- , telbutloo that denies the South Inland that comparative immunity from such experiences Heretofore taken for granted. And what more fearful than the heaving of the earth beneath us. the crashing down of the strong est structures, the ruins falling about as, with the earth roaring the tumulb of the ruin, And the oonfueion of all that is movable and all that we thought fixed and stable, and among it all our utter hslplessuess. And this was Cheviot's experience on Satur day Hat. The morning brokj flue and calm, olouds hung close overhead, bearing an pjjpeotation of nor' west wiada. No other aign foretold anything unusual to the ordinary observer. The shook was as sudden aa it was terrible* niy own experiences were aa follows:— I bad been out with the gun in the ewrly morning, and was returning, entering the township, when a sound from the nor' west attracted my attention. Before I could Boaeofl realise the direction, it waa on me like the blast of a mighty wind, and climaxed in a boomiibo report. The ground trembled violently, and appeared to rise and fall in rapid waves; the trees, hedges and grass rustled with the vibrations ; immense clouds of dust arose from the surrounding hills: From the neighbouring houses arose the terrified screams of women and children. I struggled to keep my feet, but waa thrown to the ground. When I looked up again a teamster in a paddock over the fence was also lylnt? on the ground. Tha terror stricken people, many juat awakened from their sleep, had ruahe I from their houses. Not a houaehad a chimney,all had been demolished* Asod house just across the road had entirely collapsed. The shook appeared to last for about a minute, and was so violent that only'the pliable wooden atruc'ures withstood the shock j not a chimney remains in Che viot j the aod houses aro all destroyed; it was in one of those that a death occurred, a child being smothered in the falling ruin?. Concrete foundations were broken up, and bouses were shifted completely off their piles. Windows are broken everywhere, and the two hotels, Scott's and Pembertby's, tso otorey buildings, are all racked and twisted ; Fembar^hy's ao much co, that it ia anaafo to enter. The only briok build ing In the township, a butcher'a chop, waa completely shattered. The outside damage, evident enough, was ineigoiScatt when com' pared with the wreck and ruin of tho interior. Not a hocia escaped; Falling bricks had fo^ied in the wall*. Crockery, overturned furniture and brio a brao were piled in oonfasioa en the floor, Tho wreck &ad ruin were indescribable, and all suffered alike,, %be ah'elwQ of the shopa were clean awepi);

am] their contonts heapod on the floor. The ovbdb of the two bakeries were demolished, the engine boiler at the dairy factory over turned, the tanks upset, and the interior wrecked. . The Poet Office suffered similarly, the clock stopped registering the time »t thirteen minutes to eighf, Immense cracks seam d the earth ia a 1 direction?, ftsd now epringa swdlaii the creeks to flood volume. The roads are oracked and seamed and the bridges distorted and unsafe. 'I'he road to the Port ia blooked by landslips and divided by immetßa cracke. Around the Bluff at Port /Ribinson th-a road lies beneath thousands of tons of debris, the oliff ruonin sheer lntn the sea, Many had narrow escapee and several received iojury and had to be sxtricntsd from the falling debris. Mrs Johnson's child was killed in the utter oollapse of their house, Had there been buildings of brick or stone the mortality , Would have been increased many fo'.d. Saturday passed wnh numerous minor shocks throughout the day, Boma severe enough but dwarfed by ihe first. The people did little bnt board up the broken windows and Bmaßhed roofa. No news was available from oueide, and anxiety was felt leafi Ch.Ch should have been affected* Few could oook in their houses, bub most got what food they \ could, and what utensils were still left and camped in the open. Night oame, and many faced ib with fear and trembling. Heavy, dead olouda hung in the sky all day, and the sunset looked weird and foreboding. Those who could obtain tents had pitched them in their gardens, others had rolled themselves in their blankets on the grass, and many had gathered together for companionship, form iof> small groups. The air was still and at fling, Aboub fight o'clock & heavy shock again occurred, and the Bway iog buildings and falling glass renewed the terror. Throughout the night the shocks were frequent and the trembling almost iaceSßant, Severe shocks were felt about 3 Bim. and sa.m. The weloome light of Sunday broke the virgil of many f.<r ftw had slept. Throughout Sun day little disturbances occurred, but the atmosphere was still oppressive, and as darkness fell little security was felt, and whnt little there wa?, was dispelled by a heavy shock at a quarter to ninei Distur 1 banees havecontinued all through the night and sail continue. While lam writing one has jiet passed, swaying the house like a boat on the water. Though little more damage is to be anticipated the ruin is sufficient;. The strain and suspense has ' been terrible, and many women are almost) prostrate. The experience haa been one that will never be forgotten, and that few would like to renew.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Dunedin, November 18 Mr Wright had been worrying for some time about the manure mixing machine, and Chambers and Son, who supplied tha machinery, put in a man ta run it for a week. The elevator had become choked, and the belt driving it slipped off. Deceased went up the ladder, but whotber ho tried to replace the belt or intended to waib till the elevator was cleared is not known. Some' how he got caught in the shafting, which was revolving at the rate of 150 revolutions per minute, and was carried round with the shaft.
