There have been quite a number of
earthquakes this fall. We were some
what alarmed by one at 8:40 the even
ing of the 6th. Not that it was as
severe as many other jolts we have
had, but it lasted longer, perhaps 30
or 45 seconds. It did no damage at
all, not even upsetting bottles or
shaking things from the shelves.
The S. S. Bertha came in the next
•iay, reporting a peculiar experience.
As she was steaming along, theollic
ers and crew were startled by a sud
den crash, as if they had struck a
reef. Some of the men said 'Well
she is doue ft r this time” The en
gines were instantly reversed and
then stopped eutirely. They could
discover not hing wrong with the ship
and were at a loss to know how to at
cout for the crash until they reached
Kodiak and found that instead of
striking a rock they had run over an
earthquake.
