The savage Will Continue Work
Minor Matters.
SAN Francisco. December 10.
All day yesterday the wind was blowing
from the southeast, with occasional sprink-
lings OF rain. About 4 o'clock this morn
ing the wind increased to a heavy gale, and
rain came down literally. At an early
hour the following special dispatch came
through from the signal service OF WASH
ington: Severe storm in California and
Oregon. Coast center moving southeast
towards Northern California. During the
forenoon great anxiety was felt for the
safety OF the press boat which leaves the
city every morning with newspapers Tor
the Oakland routes. The boat, which is a
large Whitehall. built for the purpose, left
the foot of Clay street about half-past 4
o'clock this morning, having ON board j..
Pickney and son, who run her, two hotel
runners, and about 500 weight of papers.
Nothing was heard of them until half-past
IL o'clock, when they were seen creeping
out from under the lee Of Goat Island,
where the storm had forced them to take
refuge, and trying to make the Oakland
wharf. A heavy wind and sea rendered
the attempt impossible, and they were
driven back. They are undoubtedly sale
in their present position until the abate-
ment Of the storm renders landing pos
sible. The course of the wind is rather
off shore, along the city front. No serious
damage to shipping has thus far been
reported. The powder boat from the mills
at California City went ashore twice on
Angel Island in attempting to get down to
the city, but finally succeeded in making
port. In the city the wind has occasioned
some damage to trees, awnings, signs, etc.
