EARTHQUAKE CENTRE
EAST=NORTH=EAST OF MASTERTON AT DISTANCE OF EIGHT MILES. REPORT OF DEPARTMENTAL SEISMOLOGISTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Seismologists from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research who went to the Masterton area immediately after the earthquake have returned to Wellington after investigations on the spot. They definitely locate the centre of the disturbance as a point eight miles east-north-east of Masterton. The full force was along a north and south line. Places east and west of that line were not so severely shaken as places on the direct line. In a straight line north there are fortunately no towns. South lay j Gladstone and Martinborough. I Masterton, not being in the direct line, was not so badly shaken as it might have been, although the shake was very severe. That after-shocks are progressively getting fewer is regarded as a reassuring sign that the disturbance is dying down.
