Transcription: Vancouver, George, Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean and round the world, Vol. 2, 1793 May
The very unpleafant weather that attended us foon after our laft departure hence, led me to enquire of Sen Fidalgo, how the winter had paffed at Nootka. From whom I underfood, that their fituation here had been very irkfome, having been almost conflantly confined to the houfe by inceffant rain; that on the 17th of February a very fevere fhock of an earthquake had been felt, and on the 1ft of April a moft violent ftrom from the fouth-eaft. |
