Coast Guards Search for Bodies
 Of IS Sailors From Lumber Boat;
 Severe Storm Lashes Pacific Coast
Schooner Tries to Come About, But Capsizes in Instant When Hit by Waves BrOadside-Other Shipping in Danger.

San Francisco Nov. 10 lPl-Whlc the lumber schooner Brooklyn at their feet coast guardsmen search d today for the bodies of IS men who went down with the little wood- en craft Saturday on Humboldt Bar in northern California.
 Meantime a determined crew of 1 refused all offers to be taken off Inc creaking Richfeld oil tanker Tamiahua, aground since Thursday night on Pescadero reef, so miles south of San Francisco. Six wreck CTS aboard andthree tugs waited for heavy seas to subside before begin ming salvage attempts. A brooches buoy was ready to take the crew ashore in case of emergency.
 Third Ship In Tow
 A third ship, caught in the same storm which wrecked the Brooklyn. was in tow of the coast guard cut ter Saranac. This helpless vessel, he once proud navy cruiser Mis- soula, with II mon aboard, broke loose off the Oregon coast from til" cable with which the tug Roosevelt was towing her to San Francisco to be scrapped.
 Determined to maintain his sched- ule, T. Tufvesson steamed the lum- ber-laden Brooklyn out of Eureka for San Francisco Saturday in the face of one of the worst northern California gales in years.
 When the danger of trying 70 cross the trcachcrous bar outside Humboldt harbor became apparent, and before the ship could be put about, she was caught by towering waves They tossed the 333 ton craft over on it's side like q play thing.
 Giant seas split the wooden craft in two as easily as a man Woul1 break match, said Captain Ahlin whose lumber schooner Washington was but quarter mile behind.
 A few minutes after she was caught, Ahlin said, the Brooklyn sank with all hands on board. No boats were lowered.
 Shattered lifeboats, broken parts Of the hull, splintered beams, the battered deck house and scattered lumber of the little schooner which were hurled on the beach told mute ly of the power of the storm.
 Other ships Battered
 The gale and the fast running ebb tide ripped anchor, chain and part of the anchor winch from the Wash ington when she tried to stop. Small fishing craft rode out the fercest of the storm, not daring to cross the treacherous bar until yesterday.
 When the storm snapped the cable from the Roosevelt to the Missoula off Coos Bay, the tug was forced to call for help. The chain dragged over her stern and threatened to foul her propeller. The Saranac then went to the aid of the helpless cruiser and took up the towing job.
