  — 
  

  

  " 
  I 
  was 
  the 
  only 
  one 
  writing 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  and 
  first 
  noticed 
  the 
  earthquake 
  owing 
  

   to 
  the 
  table 
  shaking 
  and 
  asked 
  the 
  others 
  not 
  to 
  shake 
  it. 
  They 
  replied 
  they 
  were 
  

   not 
  doing 
  so, 
  and 
  I 
  saw 
  that 
  they 
  were 
  sitting 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  table 
  (not 
  touching 
  

   it). 
  I 
  then 
  looked 
  under 
  the 
  table 
  thinking 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  a 
  dog, 
  scratching 
  himself, 
  

   but 
  seeing 
  nothing 
  there, 
  and 
  the 
  table 
  still 
  shaking, 
  I 
  said 
  " 
  It 
  is 
  an 
  earthquake/' 
  

   the 
  station 
  master 
  immediately 
  looked 
  up 
  at 
  the 
  clock

  right 
  

   in 
  front 
  of 
  him, 
  and 
  said 
  '16-30.'
