ISOSEISMALS: DISTRIBUTION OF APPARENT INTENSITY. 273 
the same along the road leading southeast toward Butano Creek. A 1-inch crack at 
the first fork of the road a mile from the town of Pescadero extended north and south 
for about 50 feet, and a farm house a mile farther down the road was nearly shaken off 
its foundations. Dishes fell from the shelves in this house, and water oozed out of level 
ground near by. 
(G. A. Waring.)— On Butano Creek there were slight cracks in the road, and the streams 
were muddy. People said the shock was felt very distinctly, and dishes generally fell. 
The houses were all light, low buildings, and were not damaged. At a sawmill a mile 
east up this creek, there was no damage; and altho the banks beside the road showed 
traces of caving, there were only slight cracks, the longest one being in the middle of 
the road above the creek, running N. 67° E. for a distance of about 50 feet. 
Along the main road from Butano Creek to Little Butano Creek, then across by trail 
to Pigeon Point, the same effects were noticed. Near a house on the level creek bed 
of Little Butano Creek, 4 cracks averaging 3 inches in width and about 20 feet in length 
ran N. 33° EK. The only crack noticed along the trail toward the coast was 1 mile north- 
west of the place where Little Butano Creek turns from southwest to northwest, and 
was about the same length, but ran N. 3° W. 
Pomponio Creek road (F. Lane). —On the Pomponio Creek road, chimneys were 
shaken but not destroyed. A big slide above the last house forced the observer to leave 
the road and take the trail, which rejoins the road a half mile farther on. 
Four miles from the town of Pescadero, on the east side of a bridge over Pescadero 
Creek, the ground had sunk 2 inches and the aperture filled by the land sliding. 
A mile nearer the town, the road had dropt 5 feet, but had been filled by a big slide. A 
house at this point was quite intact, but the chicken-house near it was carried down and 
partly buried by the landslide. On Eues Creek, near its junction with Pescadero Creek, 
a hillside had started to slide and apparently needed only to become rain-soaked to con- 
tinue the slipping. Wherever there were buildings in this region, no damage had been 
done except to chimneys, which had fallen. 
The Coast from Pigeon Point to Ano Nuevo Bay (H. W. Bell). — At Pigeon Point the 
brick light-house, 125 feet high, showed a slight crack all the way around inside, about 
40 feet from the ground. This crack did not look.dangerous. Another crack 20 feet 
higher up dated from December 17, 1904, the keeper explained. The base of the pedestal 
holding the lens was slightly cracked, but the lens was intact. In the houses near the 
light-house the damage was slight; brick chimneys had not fallen, tho slightly cracked, 
and the same was true of plastering. A mile west of the light-house a few slight cracks, 
with a direction of N. 28° W., were observed. 
Leaving the coast road at the fork halfway between Pigeon Point and Franklin Point, 
and going northeast along Gazos Creek, then southerly to the crossing of Whitehouse 
Creek, then back again to the ocean road near Franklin Point, few traces of the shock were 
noticeable. A small landslip, 0.25 mile up the east side of the short creek which flows 
into Gazos, just west of the fork of the road which continues northwestward to Little 
Butano Creek, showed a 2-foot vertical displacement at the top, and the land had shoved 
into the road below. This slide measured 150 feet from its top to the road, and its width 
at the road was 100 feet. 
Along this route from Gazos to Whitehouse Creek, 0.125 mile from Whitehouse Creek, 
at several farm houses brick chimneys were down, houses slightly moved on their foun- 
dations, dishes broken, and plastering cracked. A half mile northeast of the mouth of 
Whitehouse Creek the same kind of disturbance was found. The intensity was apparently 
uniform with that at Pescadero. At the Cascade ranch, 0.25 mile northwest of Green- 
oaks Creek, the shock was even stronger than on Whitehouse Creek. Cows were thrown 
off their feet, chimneys were down, the house cracked, and nearly all plastering fell off.
