San 1 Francisco, May 16-Within a
couple of minutes after the big earth
quake and. before they had time to
collect their shsttered nerves, a few
people living within the section st the
base-of - the-mountain- just- south -of
Mount Olivet cemetery were put to
their wits' end by a swirl of water that
went rushing down into the cemetery
toward the railroad track. JUke sn
avalanche it rushed along," carrying
everything within a scope of 100 feet
wide and fully one half a mile in
length.- Trees - were uprooted and
buried, barns, work and tank houaes
were carried away, and between 23,000
and 30,000 feet of lumber,, the prop
erty; of th cemetery association, was
carried away: '. j , . ' ;
Several horses , belonging to a neigh
boring farmer were, caught in the
swirl, but struggled for their lives, and
emerged completely coated with a soft,
stteky mud. Many pigs Were lost and
an v-lve potato patch waa washed out.

gushed an "excavation about 100 feet
wide and ' from lit to eight feet ' In

Among the few people who . visited
the spot, were Father Cooper of Ocean
