STORM PUTS
SHIPS IN
PERIL
Greatest DoWnpour of Season
Sweeps Northern State;
All Steamers Delayed

The heaviest rainstorm Of the sea-
son. which swept down the coast last
night, seriously interfered with to-
days shipping schedules from Monte
rey north. AS a result. all ships are
reported many hours late. Heavy seas
accompanied the rain out over the
ocean. and boats of every description
We're tossed about at the mercy of
monster waves, and the lighter crafts
had hard work to keep from founder
ing
In San Francisco the storm broke
about 10 o'clock, and for few hours
the rain came down in torrents. In
the outlying districts. where the
streets are not paved, deep guliies
We're washed and the drainage system
was badly cIogged up.
RAINFALL is HEAVY
When the rain had subsided the
weather gauge registered 10 of an
inch in this city. making the season
rainfall 6.29 inches. This is about
average and more than two inches in
excess of the precipitation at this
time last year.
The storm got no farther south than
Fresno, that city getting .03 OF an
inch. Sacramento reported 40, Red
Bluff so. Eureka so of an inch, San
Jose SO of an inch.
In San Francisco the precipitation
that fell during the night was the
heaviest recorded during any similar
period this year.
STORM BUFFETS STEAMERS
The steamer Wasp, which was on
its way from Mukilteo for San Pedro,
put in here last night short of fuel.
Bucking the gale exhausted the coast
er's oil supply while the Golden gate,
the nearest refuge, was a long way
off. and. to keep up steam. 1t was
necessary TO use part of the cargo for
fuel More than $4,000 feet of lum-
Der was consumed in the furnaces
The Wasp. its oil tanks refilled. re-
sumed its voyage early this morning.
The steamer Ravalli going into Eu-
reka over the Humboldt bar yesterday
shipped a heavy sea that carried away
part of the rail and did other damage
about the deck
The freighter Pleiades, which start
ed late yesterday afternoon for Pan
anna. put back at 7:30 p. m. unable on
account of the heavy sea TO cross the
bar. The steamer Norwood, from Grays
Harbor, spent part of the night out
side the heads waiting for the break
ers to subside.
BEACH CoMBERS HIGH
Still breaking high. but robbed OF
its force by last nights heavy rain,
the surf at the beach today offers an
impressive sight. While the waves
are nearly as big as yesterday no
further damage is expected.
The rain caused a cavein in the
south drive of Golden Gate park op-
posite Fortieth avenue. A strip 80
feet long. extending Is feet wide, hair
across the road. slid down six feet.

SANTA CRUZ. Nov. 27.-The heav-
lest sea in years yesterday damaged
