Reference #414:

1924, April 15, 0:20 [local time]. There was a destructive earthquake with source to the southeast of Mindanao Island. On the Pacific coast, approximately between 8o north and Davao Bay, the loose soil cover cracked, numerous landslides descended from the steep slopes, and rocks fell from cliffs. At Mati, at the top of Pujada Bay, a broad area of the coast subsided 1/2 m. Several bamboo huts collapsed. At other homes, various objects fell and broke, and partitions were damaged. The earthquake was felt rather strongly in the valley of the Agusan River. The isoseismals of the earthquake extended north and north-west; the 4-5 degree (V-VI Rossi-Forel) isoseismal was 400 km from the epicenter in this direction. The 3 degree isoseismal was 1000 km away and included all Mindanao Island and the islands in the Visayan Sea. The magnitude was 4 degrees on Sangihe and Talaud Islands. The earthquake was felt very weakly at Manila and on the northeast of Kalimantan Island at Rengalon. Numerous recurrent shocks were felt after the earthquake (as far as the Talaud Islands) and were registered. A strong seaquake was felt on board a steamship riding at anchor in Caraga Bay. The tsunami may have been observed at Mati. Gutenberg, Richter (1954): 14.IV; 16h20m23s; 6.5 N, 126.5 E; M=8.3.
