HURRICANE DOES VAST DAMAGE ON
 WESTERN COAST
(continued from Page oneJ


 No details of the loss of the Coos Bay have been received here with the exception that. the wooden craft foundered about fifty miles from where the Blackford went down. The crew was landed at a Mexican port
 The damage to the seaport of La Paz, according to Brown, will be heavy Brick and wooden buildings, he said, were razed by the gale The wharf at La Paz is reported to have been almost totally destroyed. La Paz has a population of about 5000 and is a shipping point for practically all the agricultural and mining pro- ducts of the southern part of Lower California.
 Much of the damage sustained at the naval coaling station at Pichilinque, which lies almost directly across the Gulf of California from La PaZ was caused by the sinking of coal barges and steam launches.
 The Peruvian bark, Quatre Herman as, had a miraculous escape from meeting the fate of the Blackford and the Coos Bay The HeTmanas time and again was thrown on her beam ends. her cargo of ties and timber had been washed overheard. The
