This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ...that the stupefied survivors were roused to the work of rescuing, whilst he stripped his house of furniture for the use of the homeless inhabitants. I must here express my gratitude for that gentleman's kindness apd hospitality, which the disastrous circumstances rendered invaluable. This Villa Manzo is a somewhat complex structure, though nearly symmetrical in its arrangement. It has been added to at various times, and some late additions are of a most massive kind. The longer axis of the Villa is directed 10 E. of N. to 10 W of S. It exhibits fissures produced by the earthquakes of 1828 and 1881, whilst of that of 1883 there seem to be two sets. The first or direct shock was denoted by a series of fractures running parallel to the longer axis, that is, in an azimuth from 10 S. of E. Some walls of the front or W. face were projected in that direction. On the table in the kitchen there stood, at the moment of the earthquake, a plate filled with raw egg ready for making an omelet. The earthquake caused a swaying movement in the liquid egg; so much so, that it was spilled over the S. E. and N. W. edge of the plate and dried on the table-cloth. M.' Nesbitt had observed this with much intelligence and deduced the wave-path azimuth from his observation; and he replaced the table-cloth and plate for us to see the exact condition of things, at the moment of the occurrence. In the same room was a cupboard in which stood one of those tall brass lamps for burning oil, of a modified Pompeian style, in which the centre of gravity is rather high. This fell forward on to the floor in an azimuth of about S. E. to N. W. On a shelf was a crucifix with a heavy wood block for a base. This had been twisted round to face N. W., but afforded no safe data for...
