72 EAETHQUAKES ON THE PACIFIC COAST 



stable were engaged in a pitched battle; horses and cattle were 

 lying crouched upon the ground, uttering the most pitiful moans; 

 dogs were howling, and the unearthly cries of the Klamath In- 

 dians camped near the fort, completed the scene. The sutler's 

 store was thrown about ninety feet from its former position. 

 There were no lives lost, nor any serious accidents to any one. 

 There is no very serious damage done to any of the buildings, all 

 being log and frame houses, but I do not think there is a whole 

 pane of glass left at the post. Most of us are of opinion that a 

 volcano has broken loose near the Klamath marsh, as a continuous 

 dark column of smoke is seen in that direction. There was but 

 half an hour between the first and second shocks. The first was 

 just perceptible. The second lasted, as near as can be judged 

 from various opinions, from two to three minutes. Further jiar- 

 ticulars will be given by the next express. " 



L. Tennyson, Quartermaster's Clerk. 



Mr. Whitmore has just arrived from the agency, and reports

 falling. Crooked Creek, a stream between this place and the 

 agency, is completely dried up. — B. Ms. — 8. F. Bulletin, January
