MORE SHARP ’QUAKES

NERVES WRACKED AT WESTPORT SNOW ON HIGH LEVELS Press Association WESTPORT, Sunday. Aiter a fairly quiet Saturday, earthquakes made their presence unpleasantly felt on numerous occasions today The biggest and most prolonged shake occurred at 3.30 a.m. While the people face the shakes bravely through the day, they still find those at night very uncanny and nerveracking. A visit to the cemetery shows that the stones of many beautiful memorials have crashed over, or been displaced. Damage has also occurred to the concrete bases and kerbings. The memorials of many old-time prominent citizens are affected. There has been a heavy fall of snow m the back country during the past two days. The Southern Alps are heavily coated, and the foothills are well sprinkled. The temperature generally as a result has been low throughout Westland.
