though she had out extra lines. Cap- tain Bottger called for the tug Sea Witch. and had the Lily lowed out into the bay, where he anchored.
 The schooner Sacramento. which had tleo up to section A. was also batter Ing herself heavily, and her captain called for the services of the tug, but when the Sea Witch had finished with the Lily the wind and waves had abat- ed considerably, so the Sacramento re- mained at her moorings.
 A small scow schooner next to the Lily raised her foresail and cast off her forward lines and fell out from the wharf, and she was thus enabled to ride easily with the help of her an- chor. The schooner Beulah was also moored to section B. while besides the Sacramento, the schooners Edward Park and barkentine Monitor were tied up to section A, but they rode the storm cut in safety
 In the early part of the afternoon Weather Prophet Hammon sent tele- graphic dispatches to all parts of the
 State instructing the agents of the Weather Bureau to erect the necessary storm signals as a warning to the peo- pie of the approaching gale. The chief wharfinger of this city was notified to warn the owners of vessels and ad- wise them to let out extra mOoring lines, and everything, in fact, was done to prepare the city for the northwestern.
 "'The storm at present is central over Northern Idaho and Nevada said Forecast Official Hammon yesterday in explanation of the cause, origin and probable scope of the gale. Tt is now aging in California, Nevada and the Pacific Coast generally, and every in dication points that as it forces it's way farther down its velocity will fn- crease, and before it's force is broken will be running at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
 ''The general idea that the storm will be the effects of causing rain is with out foundation, as every indication is against such a consequence, except per haps the appearance of an occasional shower
 The storm from it's central position in Idaho and Nevada is gradually forcing it's way southward and San Francisco can prepare itself for an in crease in the velocity of the wind as it comes sweeping down the interior val leys and along the coast. A light rain fell throughout Eureka and Ore gon yesterday afternoon, but was not sufficient to produce any general effect, as it lasted but a few moments
 ''The conditions are favorable in the northern part of the State and Nevada for a severe snowstorm, as the barom- eter is rapidly falling, but as far as
 this city is concerned we will have nothing but high winds"

TWO WOMEN
 STOW AW AIS Wer Discovered on the Puebla Before Reach
 ing Black Point.
Captain Jepsen Put Them Into a Ships Boat With the
 Aid of a Slinq.
Had They Got as Far as Seattle They Intended Slowing Away on the
 Australia.

The steamer City of Puebla went away yesterday with the largest crowd of passengers that has yet left San Francisco for Puget Sound. She took away 190 in the cabin and 296 in the steerage. Of these over 15o are for the Klondike, the majority of the others be- ing bound East via the Canadian Pa cific Railway cn cut-rate tickets.
 All the passengers were well supplied with freight and the steamers decks were filtered with it, while aft mules, horses and dogs were quartered. The Puebla got away from the wharf with two women stowaways aboard, bur they were discovered as the vessel was passing Black Point and Captain Jep- sen at once stopped the steamer and landed them at Meiggs wharf. They were Miss Jennie Gay and Miss Nellie Ferris of this city. They said they wanted to get to Dyea and thought if they could only get to Seattle they could stow away on some other steamer and thus reach their destination. They were well known to the sailors on the Puebla, and called out "Good-by, Frank" to one of the rowers who brought them ashore.
 Captain Jepsen wasted no time with the two women. It was blowing hard and he wanted to get outside and on his course as quickly as possible. When the boat was in the water and

manned the women were put into sling, one at a time, and lowered into the boat Before they got away from the steamers side they were soaking wet and during the pull for the wharf wave after wave broke over them. They were landed on the schooner Lily and Captain Bottger offered to allow them to dry themselves in the vessels cabin, but they insisted on getting ashore and went uptown on an electric car.
 The steamer Doric got away for the Orient yesterday after a delay of sev eral hours The boilermaker and sixth assistant engineer, who had been re- moved to Angel Island by Dr. Rosenau, were still in quarantine, and the quar- antine officer refused to give them up. Dr. Chalmers gave the agent of the Oc- cidental and Oriental Steamship Com pany permission to take off the me- chanics, but Rosenau at first refused to part with them. Finally he agreed to put them aboard if the Doric was moved into the stream. This was done, and the trouble over the quarantine was over.
 The Doric had an unusually large passenger list, and they all and their baggage had to be put aboard by the mail company's tug. This was the cause of the delay, and the language used by the male passengers in dis cussing the quarantine muddle would not look we'll in print.
 Among the cabin passengers on the Doric was Mrs. J. M. Shotwell, widow of the late Captain J. M. Shotwell. A host of her friends were down to see the lady away and wish her pleas ant sojourn in the land of the chrysan- themum.-
 The Oceanic Steamship Company's Zealandia got away for Honolulu on time Owing to the strong northerly wind that was blowing, Captain Dow dell had some trouble in getting the big steamer away from the wharf, but once clear of the structure she was soon strengthened out and went full speed on her course.
 She carried the following passengers: Miss Mary Allen, w. Auid, H. w Baker and wife. w. D. Bethel, Miss Mary Brooks, H. C. Brown and wife, Miss H. Burns, H. J. Burrell, Mrs. R. F. Bur rell, c. J.

Growing playful again the wind picked up its heels yesterday and came in over the city with a rush, heralding its riotous approach with shrill whistles and clouds of dust
 Out at the Cliff House it was blowing a gale of fifty-two miles to the hour when the sun rose, but this subsided to thirty-siX miles toward the middle of the day. AS evening drew near it trilled it's pipes until they sang the tune of forty-four miles an hour, and the buildings shook and rattled with the duet of the shrieking gale and the thunder of the surf.
 The only sailing vessels which braved the blast after the wind had gained it's greatest velocity were the pilot boats which must cruise up and down the bar, regardless of wind or weather. The steamers Zealandia and Doric put to sea during the early part of the after noon, and the heavy seas on the bar came near causing an involuntary trip to the islands and the Orient for their pilots. There are two pilots by the name of Jordan. and for the sake of distinction as well as for physical req sons one is known as Big Jordan and the other as Little" Jordan. Big" Jordan was on the Zealandfa and Lit tle' Jordan on the Doric.
 When they crossed the bar the surf was running so high that they could not leave their charge, and they had to pass the inside pilot boat America, which was to have taken them back to the city. They therefore proceed ed out to the outer pilot line and there managed to board the Bonita, but only after the Bonita had lost her main and her fore sail while maneuvering to get them aboard.
 When they arrived off Meiggs wharf Big Jordan decided that he would come ashore at once despite the sea, which was running in the tideway, and so he got into the yawl and started to pull ashore The tide and the waves swamped the boat, however. just as she was reaching the seawall, and Jordan had to continue to the end of his jour , ney on foot, with the water up to his waist He yelled for assistance, but even his pilots voice was drowned in the bowling wind, so he struggled on over the rocks of the bulkhead until he could make landing.
 Meiggs wharf escaped without any damage, as did the vessels that were tied to it, although at : o'clock, just before the wind began to abate, it looked as if the serious consequences of Wednesday nights blow might be repeated. So threatening was it at this time that the schooner Lily lying at section B of the seawall was chafing herself in a most dangerous manner al-

MT Hammon declares that this is one of the severest wind storms the State has experienced for five years. Com munication was received from Mount Tamalpais late last night that the wind was travelling over the summit at the rate of 72 miles an hour.
 At Point Reyes the velocity was 6S miles an hour, and steadily increasing.
 The full force of the north wind was felt in the Richmond district yesterday. So great was the force that regular sand showers swept over the entire place. Signs and other external faS- tenings to the houses were made to rat tie and shake as if they were on board a vessel under full sail while chimney tops were twisted and turned from their original positions.
 In Golden Gate Park trees and shrubs were made to bend their proud heads to the northern breeze that had made its presence felt, but no damage was re- ported at the superintendent office. The animals hugged the weather fences with an unusual tenacity. The big grizzly bear and old Ben Harrison, with his household of buffaloes shook their heads in majestic disdain at any thing so trifiing as a siXty-f1ve mile gale of ocean wind.
 Although all possible preparation had been made in anticipation of the ap- preaching storm, the majority Of resi- dents of this city were taken by sur prise. Hats were seen rolling over the cobbles with their owners performing all kinds of contortion featS in hot pur- suit; women with their bonnets on one side and with their hair disheveled were making their way round the cor ners of high buildings with the latest styles in hosiery exposed by the dis respectful blast to the immodest gaze of the public, and fallen sign boards and debris marked the course of the wind on every side.
 The weather conditions to-day will be similar to those of yesterday. and the storm signals can be expected to be seen on the fiagpole of the Mills build ing for at least twentyfour hours longer.
