SEVEREST FELT o
The earthquake and tidal wave
which occurred at Samoa on June 25
wk severest on record there. Com
mander J. M. Poyer. governor of American-Samoa
and commandant of the
naval station at Tutulla, states In a
letter received by tbe nary depart
ment, Gov. Toyer's report follows:
"About .: 30 p. nt, June 25, an
earthquake -and moderate tidal wave
occurred here. Earthquakes are some
what frequent here, but this waa the
severest one that has occurred, ac
cording to old residents. No one waa
injured. A few buildings, on the Island
were injured, notably two xhurchea,
one in Leone and one in Pago Tago,
which were so badly damaged that
their further u-e is dangerous and haa
been forbid Ju. There waa no dam
age at the naval station.
'The observatory at Apia broad
casted the following information' by
wireless:
The observer here places the cen
ter of the disturbance about 75 miles
southwest of Samoa and considers it
was due to a submarine landslide.
No serious damage done. Earthquake
violent for about minute and a half,
and minor thakes were experienced
throughout the night at intervals. Ti
daV waves about. 3 feet high were ex
Wrienced on south coast of Savali,
Upola, and Tutuila, causing" minor
damage but no loss of life.
The rise and fall of water in Pago
Pago bay exceeded that reported from
Apia. The bay Is much narrower at
its head, than at Its mouth, with the
result that at the head of the bay the
water rose and fell between five ana
six feet- above and below normal. : :
"Many of the nativea were frighten
ed and sought refuge in the mountains
for the remainder of the night.
