On Board U. S. S. New Mexico,
Aug. 4.-Six dreadnoughts of the Pa
cific fleet were severely shaken by a
double earthquake shock twenty miles
off the west Mexican coast at Colima.
None of the warships report any
damage.
The New Mexico trembled from
bow to stern as if it had struck an
uncharted reef, and the navigation
officer sounded collision quarters" on
the fiagship's siren. Sailors in the
foretop said the basket masts of the
warships swayed like poplar trees in
a gale.
Officers on the quarter deck hur-
ried to their posts and the crew and
the marines took their places. Mean-
while all watertight compartments on
the New Mexico were closed and In
spection parties were sent into the
holds to see if there had been any
damage to the hull.

off the coast of Colima, where there
are many earthquakes. Then turn

ed:
Signal all ships in the fleet and
see if they felt any excessive vibra-

Wireless telephone messages were
received soon from the five other
dreadnoughts, reporting that they felt
the shocks. The Mississippi, which
was further of shore, reported heavy
vibrations. "Just what I thought
an earthquake" Admiral Rodman
said.
When the first tremor of the ship
was felt those below hurried on deck.
The faces of some of the recruits
showed alarm, as the men stood at
quarters awaiting orders, while the
flagship rolled and pitched in the
heavy ground swells that followed the
shocks.
Admiral Rodman kept the crew at
quarters for fifteen minutes and then
ordered the secure signal" to be
sounded. He took the whole incident

deck while officers and men were run
