references to its pOsSibl" effect upon
the Panama canal. This action WAS
taken as Il prcrauti0n, though h"
officials felt that COL GOWha;>
would have advised them promptly
had the canal sustained substantial
injury.
1t is recalled that from time T."
time there have been light shocks oI
earthquakes on the iSthmu$ since
The Americans began ia build til"
canal, but in no case has there been
any damage to the engineering work.
1t is said ut the commission offices
that very little danger Of extensive
injury to the canal could have been
caused by any earthquake OF record,
not only on thc'isthmus but IN lhi.
hemisphere.
As far as the canal itself is con
cCrncd the records fail to Show tn,
occurrence Of anything more tIaL
slight disturbances as far back IL
the history Of the isthmUS is known,
There are standing today masonry
structures erected several centuries
ago which probably would have been
