Swells Follow Waves That Reach
 California Coast

SAN PEDRO. Cal, Sept. 3.-Rolling 5000 miles across the ocean as n repercussion of the great earth shock which rocked Japan, four tidal waves, five feet high struck the southern California coast Monday.
 Ships in San Pedro pitched about madly as the huge waves rushed over the breakwater.
 Small boats were torn from their moorings and the larger vessels were ordered to keep up steam to meet any emergency, In case the situation might become more serious.
 The tidal waves occurred shortly after midnight Sunday,
 They were noted only by seamen and one newspaperman. who was a member of a party accompanying a swimmer who dived off the mainland at midnight In an attempt to cross the channel between San Pedro and Canta Catalina island.
 The four huge waves which loomed out of the surf were as clear as glass and came in perfectly timed, only a few seconds apart. They were fol- lowed by several great swells. 20 feet high, which rolled in 100 feet apart
 E. A. Banfield, the cross-channel swimmer, narrowly escaped with his life as the~swells rushed over him.
 Observers in the power boat which accompanied him say that unusual tidal conditions prevailed for several hours afterward
