away, her standing rigging ruined and her main boom smashed. She was lowed to the Mission flats by the tug Annie. At the same section of the seawall the schooner Edward Parke lost sixty feet of railing and bulwarks on the port side. She got partly under the wharf and each swell that came in did more or less damage to her. She was leaking badly when the tug Sea Witch took hold of her and lowed her to Mission Creek.
 At section B the schooner Gotama had her starboard side badly chafed. her starboard rigging carried away and one of her boats smashed. She was lowed clear by the tug Ida W.
 At section 3 of the seawall the schooner Amethyst came to grief. She got in late Wednesday night, and an- chored away up the bay. The men had had a hard time of it on the trip down the coast, and as soon as the anchor was down they at once turned in and went to sleep. When the wind was at it's height the schooner began to drag, and drifted rapidly in the direction of the H. c. Wright. The captain of the latter and his men were on deck get ting lenders out to prevent the vessel from chafing against the seawall, and when he saw the Amethyst coming he guessed what was the matter, and sent a man in the boat to wake up the crew The warning was in time to save the Amethyst from crashing into the Wright but not in time to prevent her from banging up against the seawall, where she broke her main boom and had her starboard side badly chewed up She was taken in tow by the tug Active and tied up alongside Fremont street wharf.
 At section of the Seawall the SchoOn- 1 CT Helen Gunderson, loaded with brick. was lying alongside of the bark R. P. Rithet when the gale came down; the schocner's lines parted, and she drifted down on Fishermen's wharf. Her star board bulwarks and railing were carried away and when the storm was at its height she capsized and went down All of yesterday a crowd of curious people was on Fishermen's wharf gag ing at tile submerged vessel.
 Great damage was done to the fishing fleet Not a single boat escaped, and six Of them were smashed into kindline 1 wood. Some of them were so badly damaged that they will probably never go outside the heads again, and nearly all the others will require more or less repairing. In every dock from Fisher mems wharf to Fremont-street wharf there were more or less fishing craft which had sought shelter in the south ern portions of the water front.
 Both F'ishermens wharf and Lom. bard street wharf suffered from the storm, and will require considerable re pairing.

 At Vallejo street wharf the brig Lur- line was considerably damaged and her wards tore away portion of the shed before the tug Sea King could get her away from her dangerous position and out into the stream.
 At Broadway wharf the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's Eureka sank in her berth. She was put on the retired list some time ago, but when the rush to KIondike began the company thought of putting her into commission again. Some blanks were taken out of her sides just above the copper In order to examine the timbers, and they were not put back again, as the examination had not been completed, owing to the rush to get the Valencia and Cottage City ready for sea. When the storm came down and the sea rose every wave sent more or less water into the vessels hold. She sank lower and lower and finally went down alto- eether. An attempt was made to get her out of the dock but it was too late and in order to raise her divers will have to be put to work

SEAMEN'S WAGES.
l. Decision of Wide Importance on That Subject by the Court of
 Appeals

The United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals for the Ninth Circuit has just rem dered an opinion that is of great interest to seamen and owners of vessels. In the case of William Grossett vs. II. c. Townsend the court holds in cases of shipment of seamen before a United States Shipping Commissioner allotments of wages in the coasting trade and in trade between the United States and the Dominion of Can ada or Newfoundland, or the West Indies or Mexico, are illegal and should not be allowed. In rendering the decision the court said among other things:
 Tn declaring that in shipping before shipping commissioner for a coastwise voyage the agreement shall not include a stipulation for allotment, we think it was the intention to deprive the partIes in such a case of the power of contract ing for allotment. When a law declares that an allotment may be made only by written agreement, and subsequently, 1t is enacted that in certain cases the contract

laws wrecking scow Catalina was driven hard and fast on the beach. She did not sustain much damage, and will probably be lowed off at high tide to- day. The schooner yacht Josie also went ashore near to the Catalina, but was kedged off at high water The sloop Carl went on the rocks, and it will take a great deal of time and patience to get her back into the water again. A man known as Liverpool Teddy was sleeping aboard the sloOp, and the first intimation he had of danger was when the boat began to bump. He inn mediately got into a Skiff and pulled ashore, leaving the slOOp to her fate. The ship Columbia dragged her anchor. and as the tide fell she settled on the beach, but was not damaged to any ex- tent, and was lowed off at high water.
 Off Meiggs wharf the barkentine Ad- denda, which arrived Wednesday after noon and anchored there, picked up her mud hook and ran amuck She first of all drifted down upon the pilot boat Lady Mine. The barkentine escaped with few scratches, but the pilot boat lost nearly all of her starboard rail- ing, and in order to escape from her dangerous neighbor had to slip her ca ble, losing an anchor and sixty fathoms of chain.
 Next the Addenda dr1fted down upon the revenue cutter Rush. The latter's jibboom escaped by miracle and then the barkentine ranged up alongside and carried away tn revenue cutters gangway and damaged one of her boats. The Rush got under way and escaped from the barkentine, while the latter only brought up when less than fifty yards from the rocks at the end of the seawall. Yesterday morning the tug Reliance went to her assistance and lowed her to safe anchorage.
 In order to get away from the Ad- denda Captain Alex Swanson had to anchor the Lady Mine in a very ex- posed position After the Addenda was moved out of the way he got sail on the pilot boat and after some skillful maneuvering he got the Lady Mine out into the open water and then sailed her hack to her old anchorage off Meiggs wharf.
 At section A of the seawall the scow schooner Dora was tied up. When it began blowing hard the captain tried to get her away from the wharf, but failed. She had all her railing carried

HE WAS FOND OF JEwELRY.
A Burglar Pays a Friendly Visit to the Potrero Section and Gets Away
 With His Booty

Householders as well as the police in the Potrero district are anxious to make the personal acquaintance of a festive burglar who pays, afternoon visits to their houses. This man generally calls at the peoples residences while they are engaged at dinner and enters through the windows and proceeds to the bed rooms and there helps himself to V nat ever iewelry he finds in the rooms. His last visit was to the residence of M. Cousner on Railroad avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, a few days ago. Here he was well repaid, as he got four valuable watches and a lot of choice trinlkets belonring to the members of the family The househoId was at dinnner at the time of the burglars visit. He sue ceeded in gaining an entrance through a side window and without disturbing any of the family visited every room in the house, touching nothing but such jewelry as he could find.

and the American ship Eclipse, at Green street wharf, suffered considera- bly, during the storm. The Dunner- dale had two of the plates on her port side badly dented, her haWse pipe was pulled out, a hundred and twenty feet of her railing was carried away and at one time she lay over on the wharf to such an extent that the crew thought she was going to capsize and deserted her in a body. The rest of the night the men spent on the British ship Hut ton Hall. The Dunnerdale is badly strained and will have to go on the dry dock for repairs. She had been taking on a general cargo for Europe, but during the storm everything broke loose and yesterday morning it was hard to tell one item in the consign- ments from another. Everything was mixed up, cases were broken open, grain scattered over the lower hold and everything will have to be taken out of her again.
 On the south side of the wharf the Cambuskenneth caught it. The prin- cipal thing her crew had to do was to keep her from going adrift and crash ing into the ship Eclipse on the other side of the dock. During the night three of her cables snapped one after the other, she pulled two mooring piles out of the wharf, snapped three moor Ing DllS like plpeSleIlS duu was only kept i'll her place by passing the an- chor chains across the wharf At Green street wharf the Eclipse had her fore and main channels and her mooring bits torn out and was also badly chafed by contact with the wall.
 The British ship Tamar was lying at anchor off Vallejo street wharf, ready to go to sea. She dragged her anchor and drifted down below Jackson street wharf She was very close in shore and was making direct for the Govern ment steamer Mcdowell Captain Stof- fin of the steamer saw her coming and had steam up and everything ready to get out of her way, when the Tamar 3 anchors held.
 The bark Willie R. Hume made the star drift of the night. She was an- chored off Powell street, but the storm took command of her and carried her through all the shipping in the north ern portion of the bay, passed the ferry slips, ran her close to the battle-ship Oregon, and finally landed her in a safe anchorage under the lee of the Mail dock. The vessel was not damaged in

Fred Gummow, a pattern maker em7 ployed in the Union Iron Works, received serious injuries yesterday afternoon while at work at the bench in the yard.
 Gummow was in the act of turning a wheel before a lathe when the frame gave way and permitted section of the wheel to escape. This struck Gummow on the right temple and knocked him down rendering hlm unconscious. pr. de Witt was summoned and did what he could for his sufferings. Lieutenant of wagon at the service of the injured man and had him conveyed to his residence at 315 Walnut street.
 From fellow-workmen in the yard 1t was said the blame was owing to Gum mow's own carelessnesS in not tightening the clamp sufficiently before placing it in the lathe
