SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-One of the
heaviest storms Of the year prevailed
along sea and shore this morning. The
wind Whistled merrily along the water
front, assisting materially in the locomo-
ton of pedestrians going north, and the
ships on the bay were rocked like era
dies. Outside the storm was still heavier
and BODIED no good to ships from the
north. The wind commenced blowing
early at q rapid rate. At 8 o'clock the
velocity of the storm had increased to
torty-siX miles an hour and at noon it
was blowing a gale of fifty-four miles.
On the bay things were very lively,
and every tug in the harbor was out
looking after the shipping. The vessels
were humping all around the wharves,
| both on this side and at Oakland. An
attempt was made to tow out the Bunda-
eler and the Narcissus from the Alameda
wharf. but it had to be abandoned. An
other ship was towed out from Oakland
by the Hercules and Wizard, but she
| listed so heavily that she was anchored in
the stream.
All the ferryboats were late on every
trip. A fishing smack was swamped
IN the nick of time by the tug Hartley.
