Reclaimed at the Golden Gate.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 12.-Visi-
tors to Ocean Beach witnessed
very unusual sight this morning.
During the early part of the fore
noon about fifteen coasting vessels
entered the bay, and toward the
noon hour about twenty vessels OF
all sizes were becalmed off the
heads, some anchored here, some
there, and a small schooner dropped
anchor off Mile Rock. The barken-
tine Retriever collided near the
heads with the schooner Port, the
latter having her jibboom carried
away. Some of the lighter craft
drifted as far up the bay as Raceon
straits. and others narrowly escaped
drifting on Angel or Alcatraz ISL
ands.
Steamer AIvo Given Up.
New YORK, Sept. 13.-The con-
signees of the Atlas line steamship
Alvo, which has been long overdue
at Haitian ports telegraphed to this
port today that they have given
her up. The consignees say they
have knowledge that the Alvo was
in the very storm centre OF the
great tornado of August 20, and
their belief is that she foundered
or struck upon sandbank, and
has since gone to pieces. Besides
the crew of sixty-five men the Alive
carried nine passengers, all people
of prominence in Central Amerlc'
and the West Indies.
