The precipitation for the day thus

rain has been a great deal heavier.
The past month the hot north Winds
together with lack of rain, has threat

hay and grain, and the outlook was
becoming quite discouraging In some
districts. But the rain has put new
life into the ranchers as well as busl-

no reason why the season should not
be one equally as good as any OF re-

other classes of ranchers will also bene-

been compelled to irrigate to keep the

showers, kept all would 0e visitors of
the battleships today and disappointed
large number of people who came
down from Los Angeles and other
points early in the morning in the
hope of getting aboard one of the wal
vessels before the crowded hours.
Seas broke derisively over the Wind
ward avenue breakwater. Small craft
of all descriptions broke loose from
their moorings and went ashore at
various places along the strand. The
piers at Pier avenue. Hollister avenue
and North beach shook in a way that
made the tinid tremble. Only the four
great men-of-war themselves, riding
indifferently at their anchorages far
out upon the troubled waters of the
bay, seemed unaffected by the lively
battle of the elements.
Shortly after noon a dense fog, roll
ing in from the ocean, added to the
chaotic aspect of the scene. A pelting
rain accompanied it, and the speed of
the wind reached it's highest point. The
fog, however. lifted In a couple of
hours, the rain stopped and the wind
began slowly to die down. At about
4:3O the sun came out and the gale
sank to the proportions of a modest
breeze. BY sunset 1t was almost calm,
with a promise of good weather to-
morrow.

souri,, came near meeting death among
the cement covered piles that support
the Ship hotel. The cutter. in tow Of
steam launch, had brought liberty
party ashore early in the morning and
was moored alongside the private
launch Avalon, behind the Windward
avenue breakwater Under the impe-
tus of particularly heavy sea the cut
ter carried away the gunwale of the
Avalon, and it was decided to remove
her to a safer place. A steam launch
towed the cutter clear of the other
boats, but off the end of the break
water the cable parted, fouling the
propeller of the launch and leaving the
cutter drifting in toward the piles of
the Ship hotel. Hammond, who was
in the cutter jumped just before the
frail craft struck the piles and sue
ceeded in swimming ashore.
Midshipman Malson of the Missouri
saw the mishap from the wharf. Fol-
lowed by launch crew and several
volunteers recruited from a liberty
party he waded out among the piles
and with the help Of his men hauled
