and N. Eardo, men who had been IN
the employ Of the factory for many
years.
A number of their fellow workers vol
unteered to enlist IN the search for the
missing men. They once more entered
the building, which was weakened by
the impact OF the falling wall and
swayed dangerously I'm the hurricane.
Both Eardo and Kane were found ly-
ing In the upper story, and, although
both were conscious, neither was able
to help himself. Had It not been for
the brave rescue work the two men
would certainly have perished How
ever, they we're dragged to places OF
safety and later removed to the harbor
emergency hospital. Eardo, It was
found, was suffering from lacerated
wounds on the scalp and eyebrow. His
companion had numerous contusions
and three lacerated wounds on the
scalp.

Blows Roof of Freight House
A section of the roof of the oregon
Navigation companys dock at the
foot of Spear street, about $50 feet
long, was blown down and the freight
thus exposed was considerably dam
aged by the rain.
The decks of the ferryboat Berkeley
were swept by n wave as she was
crossing the bay in the teeth of the
gale and several PASSENGERS were al
most swept overheard
Much difficulty was experienced by
| the boats in making their landing es-
| pecially on the eastern side of the
bay. At the narrow gauge pier the
water was so rough that the passen-
| gers were fifteen minutes getting off
the boats. In some places the water
! was washed entirely over the boats.
The building of the Kaswell Furnish
ing company on Sixteenth street near
| Guerrero was prostrated as also were
several small structures in that dis
trict of the city.
Flats which were being erected at
Valencia and Sixteenth streets were
toppled over by the gale. Two other
sets of flats on the same street near
Twenty-fourth, which were also in
course of construction, were complete
| ly wrecked
st. Peters Church Spire Falls
The spire of ST. Peters church, cor
ner of Sixth and Alabama streets, was
| carried away and set down by the
wind some distance farther on. The
roof of the Durant school on Bush
and Buchanan streets met the same
| fate
Flats on the east side of Guerrero
street between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets collapsed under Athe
force of the gale Two flats on Church
street, between Market and Waller,
were not built strongly enough to
withstand such a violent tempest and
collapsed.
Ton Chuch and Fourteenth streets a
| two-story building was being remod-
eled into stores, making 1T three stories
in all. The supporting pillars were OF
1 fiimsy construction and the wholt
building came tumbling down.
1t will take days, perhaps weeks, tC
restore the street car system of thu
city. This will be made more difficult
by reason of the fact that In every
instance the overhead trolley came
down with the buildings.
