ANOTHER STORY
Of RUINED CITY
New York Man Tells of Fearful
Experiences in San
Francisco.
ALL NONSENSE TO TALK
OF TRYING TO BE COOL
Horror of Situation Was Such
That 1t Appalled, One
and All.

The senior member Of the firm OF Stern
berger, Sim & Co. OF the New York Stock
Exchange, with his wife, son and maid.
are ut tho Knutsford, having arrived Fri
day evening direct from San Francisco.
Speaking hurredly and with deep feel
Ing Mt. SterDbergcr said: II was on the
fourth floor OF tho st. Francis. and was
awakened by tho terrific shaking, and
the noise OF the falling OF all loose things
about the room, l had sickening SEN
sation possess me. and II holds to me
even now, The terrific noises sounded to
me like that of a hundred boilers being
blown down. and the shaking OF that
Immense structure made mo think even
then OF the Psalmists words. w hat is
man chat thou art mindful of him?
Goodness All Gone.
Every ordinary resource Of courage
and cool head is gone. and sense OF
utter helplessness possesses one which
cannot account for. L have heard men
say since l came away. why did you not
do so and so?' It is rank nonsense. In
all the 100000 people In and about that
unusual physical courage, yet i lnd on
comparing notes that all alike were dia-
mayed and dnzed in the first half hour
Think Of the electric fixtures swinging
like pendulum In motion. of the chairs,
bureaus. beds. etc, rocking OF the glass
crashing out OF windows, OF the screams
dren, and the rocking OF the steel walls
OF tho building in violent jerks and you
can see that man Just awakened from
sloep and who never felt such a thing
before. must be dazed If he is built Of
normal stuff. IT all lasted thirty min
rtes, but 1 thought then It was thirty
hours.
Fires, Break Out.
"Wo dressed hurrledly and FIVE minutes
after I looked from the window of tho
fourth floor and saw fires in several direc-
tions. / presume most OF them cnmc from
short-circuited wires or the spreading OF
banked fires In the many manufacturing
establishments. We rushed out into Un-
ion squire, just In front, and had hardly
got seated when firemen came along ask
