Abstract
THE first earthquake that I ever felt took place about 2 a.m. on the night of April 10, 1876. On this night, which was soon after my arrival in Yedo, I had been installed in a new house. To be absolutely alone in a large partially furnished dwelling in a strange land, and then in the dead of night to be wakened by a swinging motion of the bedstead, a rattling of windows, creaking of timbers, and flapping of pictures was more than bewildering.
