San Francisco, Oct. 20.-On the last

make regularly wiped off the earth.
When the ship reached the mouth OF
the River Culiaca, in the State OF
loa. the mining town of Altata, which
had stood there on the OriZaDas Iast
trip, was gone. Not a building was
left standing. This was one of the
results of the terrible storm which
played havoc on the mainland coast
of the gulf Sept. IL and Is. The
storm was of a sort of a composite af-
fair. taking the nature of a tidal wave
and cloudburst. Torrents rushed down
from the hills back of Altata and met
the tidal wave carried in from the sea
and the town was obliterated. Fortu-
nately the loss of life was slight and
the A~ltatans are now camping in tents
or rude!y constructed huts a little back
of where the town stood.
So far as Altata is concerned it is
no new thing for il TO find itself OF
the map. This is the third time that
town has been swallowed by the sea.
Twice the place has been rebuilt. each
time at a point further up the river.
