Transcription: At about 6:10 o' clock Monday morning last the region about Port Angeles was treated to another slight shock of earthquake, very much resembling the visitation of two or three months ago. The tremor while slight, was distinct and unmistakable and was very generally felt by the residents of this city. Those who were up, and about their daily duties at that time, nearly all felt the disturbance, and many who were still slumbering were awakened by the motion. Others slept through it blissfully. The motion was sufficiently heavy to shake buildings decidedly and rattle loose windows, but not strong enough to do any damage of any kind. Many people who observed the phenomenon declare that it was accompanied by rumblings, while others say they did not hear any such thing. The disturbance was evidently local, as no accounts of it are given in the dispatches from other localities.
