The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort

The
most
notable
appearance
of
fishes
during
an
earthquake
is
that
of
Riobamba.
Humboldt
sketched
one
of
them,
and
it's
an
uncanny-looking
thing.
Thousands
of
them
appeared
upon
the
ground
during
this
tremendous
earthquake.
Humboldt
says
that
they
were
cast
up
from
subterranean
sources.
I
think
not
myself,
and
have
data
for
thinking
not,
but
there'd
be
such
a
row
arguing
back
and
forth
that
it's
simpler
to
consider
a
clearer
instance
of
the
fall
of
living
fishes
from
the
sky,
during
an
earthquake.
I
can't
quite
accept,
myself,
whether
a
large
lake,
and
all
the
fishes
in
it,
was
torn
down
from
some
other
world,
or
a
lake
in
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea,
distracted
between
two
pulling
worlds,
was
dragged
down
to
this
earth--
