1824, October 26, 14.25 121.25 E. There was an earthquake in Manila and surrounding provinces. Several churches, a bridge and many homes were destroyed and the barracks collapsed in the capital. Near the Pasig River, about 7 km upstream from the city, the "ground split" with a deafening noise. A crack 7 km long was formed. Schools of dead fish floated on the river. The churches were destroyed at Cavinti (Laguna Province) and Lucban; the church at Antipolo was damaged. Many residents of Manila, frightened by the continuing shocks, left the city and lived in temporary huts and tents. The earthquake was accompanied by a hurricane, which tore the roofs off the huts and ran six ships onshore (according to other sources, sank) in Manila Harbor. In one of the sources, the shipwrecks are not

associated with the hurricane, but only with the earthquake (Perrey, 1860 b; Maso, 1910 a, 1926; Repetti, 1946).
