Destruction of Property at Tacoma Caused

TACOMA. Wash. Nov. 30.-Amid the
roar of an immense tidal wave beating
against the shores of Puget sound, 600
feet of Tacoma's ocean docks plunged
into Commencement bay at IL o'clock
Wednesday night. Half dozen steam
ers were tossed about like chips and
two were disab At 1870 a. IN.

was still settling. and the accident I'M

his daughters has been drowned. John

Pacific hydraulic pump. went down in
was roasted to death or drowned. in
the opinion of steamboat men.
The fire department was called out
at midnight and 800 more people
had gathered at the wharf. For
a distance OF 1.jO0 feet the ocean dock
had settled. and it was feared the big
wheat elevators and coal bunllers
would pitch into the bay. Several
times. when the ground settled from
six inches to 4 foot. panic resulted
and there was a wild rush for places of
safety. All the cattle pens of the
Northern Pacific. together with the
Office and that company's 4O0-foot
freight house. went down into the
ground. and fire at once broke out and
the pump station disappeared in the
debris. Nearly all the dock which fell
into the bay Is that portion of the
water front which the city of Tacoma
has been trying TO secure from the
Tacoma Land Co. Already the dam
age is estimated to aggregate $4,000.
Steamboat men claim tidal wave p
feet high rushed up the sound and tore
the dock away. Employees at the wharf
believe there has been great subter-
ranean landslide. or thata great fssure
or hole has been formed in the bay,
causing the dock to be swallowed 1t
is not positively known whether the
plunging of the dock into the bay
caused the heavy sea which overturned
Ayers boathodse and tore the steam
ers away from their fasIenings, or
whether it was in fact tidal wave.
