1906. November 6; 8 a. m., latitude 46° 09' N., longitude 125° .32' W. 

 American schooner "Stanley." Willapa Harbor to San Francisco. 

 Heavy southerly gale blowing and heavy swell on, when suddenly 

 wind died down to a calm, but swell still continued. About the 

 time when wind dropped to a calm, felt a sharp earthquake shock 

 lasting about two or three seconds. Immediately afterwards we 

 were looking toward the southwest, when we saw mountainous 

 waves coming toward us; when they struck the vessel she began 

 to pitch and roll violently, and we thought every minute we 

 would be swamped. In the midst of the confusion all the sailors 

 became alarmed and took to the rigging. I immediately began 

 using oil to help calm the seas and to protect the vessel from 

 serious injury. The wind finally sprang up from the northwest, 

 light, hazy, and misty. Barometer 28:60 inches. The dangerous 

 seas lasted for about one hour and thirty minutes. The mate was 

 certain that the mountainous seas were caused by the earthquake 

 shock. — K. Peterson and K. Magensen. 



1906. November 11; American bark " Carondelet," Capt. Thomas Doyle. 

 Latitude 42° 51' N., longitude 127° 31' W. 6:40 a. m. I felt a 

 quick rolling sensation, and a few seconds after felt the ship 

 tremble fore and aft. I thought at the time that we had run 

 on top of some sunken vessel or a whale. It looked like a heavy 

 tide rip all around the vessel. The second shock was light. As 

 to the tides, for 24 hours after had about one-half mile per hour. 

 Bound from Port Gamble to San Francisco; experienced very 

 rough weather for 11 days; nothing but gales from southeast 

 round to southwest.
