1921, Nov 8, 12:02 a.m. E Mindanao and Visayas: A very

extensive and violent shock was felt throughout eastern Mindanao and Visayas which marked the beginning of an exceedingly disturbed period lasting until the end of the month. The most affected portion of Mindanao extended from the eighth parallel southwards along the coast and district of Caraga, to San Agustin Point. Intensity VII - included a portion about 200 kms long on the coast and nearly a hundred westwards to the interior. Intensity I11 - embraced, to the north, the Visayan Islands and extreme SE Luzon to a distance of 600 kms from Caraga while, northwestwards, the shock was scarcely felt at a distance of 400 kilometres. Manay - destroyed the vault of the

church; however, the chapel of that town consisted rather of a wooden hall roofed with corrugated iron. Moreover it was in very bad repair. Some native houses were wrecked;

wooden pillars sank in cracks opened in the soil. Numerous crevasses and landslides occurred along the coast and the near hills. (reference #1187)
