LIGHTNING YESTERDAY
:. STRUCK s. 5. ALAMEDA

The S. s. Alameda was struck by
lightning yesterday during the thun-
der storm that prevailed shortly be-
fore noon The lightning struck the
foremast of the vessel and ran down
the wire rigging on the port side. Abb
solutely no damage is reported to have
been done the vessel. From the state
ments of those who saw the occur
renee the lightning seemed to hit about
the middle section of the mast where
the rigging joins the foremast-
Just before this occurrence there
was a sharp metallic clap of thunder
that seemed to be almost directly
overhead TO people in the downtown
section of the city. There was a sharp
zigzag flash of lightning immediately
after. and many thought that the bolt
had struck some object in the business
section of the city. Their surmise In
this respect, was verified by the news
from the Alameda
No one is reported to have sustained
any shock from the bolt. Work had
been knocked off temporarily during
the heavy rain storm that prevailed at
the time so TO this fact is possibly
due the escape of the stevedores and
sailors from injury
