QUAKE SHOCKS
ROCK LISBON
Two TembIors Result In
Slight Damage, No
Casualties

LISBON. May 2D-tR-Portugal's
capital city was rocked by two
sharp earth shocks early today. one
OF ten seconds duration. No cas-
ualties were reported and the dam
age was slight.
The first occurred at $40 q. m.
II created panic among the popul-
ace and they deserted their beds
for streets and cellars. The longer
one was felt a few minutes later,
shaking the city severely.
The damage was small consider
ing the sharpness Of the tremors.
Water mains were broken, building
walls cracked, a few chimneys torn
down and household furnishings
knocked about.
The higher parts OF the city APP
parently suffered the heaviest tenn
blors. accompanied by .oZinous
rumbling. The effect on the left
bank OF the river, the most vulner-
able section. was unknown because
telephone exchanges we're closed.
Fire brigades circulated promptly
but no blazes had resulted.
Shocks also were reported in the
Madeira islands and at Coimbra
and Leiria but no injury to life
or property was reported.
