[from the text] As we walked onto the beach at Bandon, Oregon that evening in late August 1933, we beheld to the north a tremendous wall of yellow smoke, thousands of feet high. It extended out over the ocean, seemingly to infinity, and slightly to the right of the setting sun. Obviously a big fire had blown up somewhere. Was the smoke from the fire near Forest Grove, in the big Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forest in northwestern Oregon, extensively reported in the newspapers for the past several days, or was it from a new fire, somewhere in southwestern Oregon?
