Mayor Schmitz at the meeting to be held | when the San Francisco executive ar-| rives. | The resolution brought out long and at ! times acrimonious debate.

The tug Sea Witch saved the Onward and the wharf from furtner damage bY towing the schooner to a more shelter>d mooring place. The schooner Vega and a sternwheel steamer were the only other vessels moored at the seawall. They ‘were moved to shelter before any dam- age was done. The oil barge Santa Paula dragged her anchor a little but did no damage and rode out the storm in safety.
