The unfortunate men clambered on the engine and were taken to Alameda Point, where the alarm was sounded and wreck- ing trains organized for the rescue. THE COOK IS LOST. Then it was dlscovered that Charles Si- {mon, the second cook, was missing, though all the rest were safe, One of them remembered having seen Simon stymble just as a great beam fell and whipped a great sheet of whirling flame. Simon’s stumble was a lucky one for him, and allowed the huge beam to fall in front of him instead of on him. Seen through the burst of flame before him it looked to his mate as though he was encircled by it. 7 In dodging around this menacing dan- ger Simon lost track of his frlends and wandered off in another direction over the blistering ralls and jagged rocks un- til he finally found himself, safe but alone, in a deserted part of the yards far to the south. Here the scorching heat of the fire gave way to the bitter breath of the chill norther and poor Si- mon was clad only in an undershirt and = warm on one side at a time, By around every few minutes I stru-! something like an average. Shortly atter (¢ o'clock the switching crew | turning body worked like beavers, and the steam gauge began to climb slowly up as the flames ate rapidly down the pier and reached out toward the boat.

He was finally persuaded, however, to accept a pair of shoes and a hat. With these he started off again, without speaking of his re- markable adventure. Simon reported at the commissary head- quiirters about 10 o'clock, and last night was at work again in the galley of the Piledmont, apparently none the worse for wear except for a heavy cold and a fog- horn voice. The other members of the crew who took part in that mad race with pursuing flames were A. J. Flood, steward; James Lyons, chef; J. Taylor, third cook; Frank Ahlander, Harry Anthony, A. B. Whit+ ‘tier, W. Egan and J. W. Chase. ADRIFT ON THE BAY. Arother exciting adventure fell to the lot of Victor Della Santa, though per- haps the shadow of death did not come 80 near to him. Della Santa is a youth of 19 years who was employed as watch- man on a piledriver moored to the south arm of the narrow gauge pler. By the time he discovered the fire on the pier all avenues of escape in that direction were cut off, and he was caught between flame and flood.

Depot Now in Ruins Was Built in 1883 for Fair’s Railroad. The Alameda mole depot was built in 1883 as the terminal for the South Pacific Coast Railway. At that time the com- pany was composed of Fair, Mackay, Flood, O'Brien and A. E. Davis. “Hog"” Davis was president and had ,charge of the construction, and the depot was bulit under his direction. Howard Holmes, en- gineer for the railroad, was the architect. The narrow gauge road was first built between Newark and Santa Cruz in 1875. The steamer Newark was built to ply be- tween Newark and San Francisco. In 1876 the railroad was extended to Alameda and a ferry slip built at Alameda Point, two and a half miles east of the depot just burned and on the south shore of the estuary. It is this slip which will be _Our carpet store is one of the big features of this drawers.

He was carried out into the bay by the tide and wind and after drifting about for an hour or two was picked up by the bay schooner Sycamore. The high wind and nasty sea prevented his landing again until late yesterday afternoon, when he hastened to his home at 1236 Park avenue, Alameda. Della Santa’s reappearance accounts for the last missing man. CAPTAIN LEALE’'S STORY. Captain John Leale of the Oakland gives a stirring recital of his vessel's bairbreadth escape from destruction. He said last evening: The fire had spread mearly across the end of alarm at once and had the moorings cuv w save time, but our furnace fires were down and steam was so low that destruction seemed certain before we could get away. Still every- TFair. But this was not until the long trestle had been constructed and the de- pot and ferry slip built at its westerly end. Meanwhile the ferry-boats Garden City and Bay City had beea built, and the Encinal was nearly finished in 1887 when Fair sold the narrow gauge to the Southern Pacific Company for $6,000,000, of which $5,500,000 was paid in guaranteed 4 per cent bonds of the South Pacific Coast Railway. The depot was still supported entirely by piles, the mole extending only some fifty feet beyond the Govegnment seawall and not reaching the eastern end of the sheds.

TAIT DISMISSED Police Judge Cabaniss Explains the Theory in Law as to Inter- views. Police Judge Cabaniss rendered a de- cision yesterday afternocn in the case of Dr. Dudley Tait, charged with criminal case on the ground that the theory in quoted as giving the interview is not liable for libel unless he had reasons to helieve his statements! would be pub- lished and desired them tu be published. The court said the evidence left him very much ih doubt on that point. He thought it unnecessary to decide other points raised, including the actual words used by Dr. Tait. At the request of Von Tiedemann's at- torney the Judge sald that, although it was in evidence that Von Tiedemanr. had beeil convicted of a felony by a jury in Judge Wallace's court and had been sen- tenced, yet it was also shown that he had appealed to the Supreme Court, had been admitted to bail and the judgment of the lower court had been reversed, which in law %eft him in the same position he oc- cupied prior to his conviction.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2.—In an interview Charles F. Lummis, the head of the In- dian commission sent out to investigate and find a suitable new home for the ‘Warner Ranch Indians, said that he is not able to state definitely when the ar- rangements for the moving of the Indians will be completed. He is said to have re- ceived a letter from President Rooseveit in which the time is suggested, but he will not divulge its contents.
