The platform has an approximately horizontal surface, most of 

 which is exposed at low tide. This is usually comparatively 

 smooth, though occasionally large areas are covered with shingle 

 rock, due to the platform truncating soft shale interbedded by oc- 

 casional hard, thin layers of sandstone. 



GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE. 



■'As indicated by the exposures along the coast, the structural 

 lines in the region from Port Angeles to Gettysburg average ap- 

 proximately parallel to the trend of the Olympics, N. 70° W., S 70° 

 E.; those in the Gettysburg-Clallam Bay territory almost perpen- 

 div-ular to this, or a little east of north, and those in the Clallam 

 Bay-Cape Flattery stretch N. 30° W., S. 30° E., or again parallel with 

 the ridges which extend along the coast in this region. A syncline, 

 with its southern limb resting against the sandstones south of Lake 

 Crescent and its northern one truncated by the waters of the Strait 

 of Juan de Fuca, is the major structural feature of the Port Cres 

 • cent-Gettysburg region. The Freshwater Bay coal-field is located 

 in the northern portion of the trough of this syncline. A rather 

 broad syncline, with its axis extending in a northeasterly-south- 

 westerly direction, occupies most of the territory between Pysht 

 river and Clallam Bay. The Clallam Bay coal-field occupies this 

 synclinal trough. The region between Clallam Bay and Capn Flat- 

 tery is formed by a great northeast-dipping monocline, the beds of 

 which appear to have a total thickness of 15,000 feet."^^ 



F'rom the main ridge thus formed minor fault blocks extend out 

 to the shore-line, on each of which the dip of the strata swings 

 around from a northeast direction to a northerly, and in one case 

 to even a northwesterly dip. The Bahada fault block is pitched 

 northeast; the remaining fault blocks between Bahada Point and 



and Kwatte were talking, the wolf's slave, the blue jay, had gone over to Kwatte's fire to warm 

 himsf If. As he was spreading his hands out before the fire, a drop of something fell on the up- 

 per surface of one of his hands. At once he perceivf d that it was a kind of oil. He smejled it. 

 At once he recognized it to have the. same smell as the smell of his master. He said nothing, 

 but went out of the room. The oil had dropped from the skin that was drying. As soon as he 

 was out in the yard the blue jay told all the wolves what he had discovered; many wolves had 

 now followed the track to Kwatte's house. The blue jay was crying, mourning the death of his 

 master. The wolves all rushtd into the house. Kwatte had anticipated trouble, and had hung a 

 basket of combs near the door. As the wolves entered he made a quick move, seized the basket 

 of combs, and before the wolves could lay hands on him he sallied forth out the door past them 

 and into the wo- ds near by and then down the beach. The whole pack of wolves now followed 

 him in hot pursuit. Time and time again they nearly overtook him. But as they were just in 

 the act of seizi' g him he would take a comb out of the basket and drop it down on the heach in 

 front of them, thus forming a point of land projecting from the mainland across the beach into 

 the surging waves. The wolves, of course, were compelled to climb over the promontories thus 

 form* d Many of them they climbed over; but finally they gave up the chase. But Kwatte 

 kept on running till he had stood up all his combs on the beach. 



"A long time aftei ward he came back, dressed himself in the dry wolf hide, and went to the 

 house of the wolves and danced and sang before them, thus clad. And they dared not touch 

 him, because of the wolf-skin dress that he wore." '**
