San Francisco, Oct. 19. Details
of the cyclonic storm and cloudburst
which struck Guaymas, Mexico on
October 4, of which only meagre ac
counts were received at the time,
were brought here by the passengers
and crew of the Mexican steamer
General Y. Pesquiera, which is in
port today. The storm, although the
most severe in the memory of the old
est inhabitant on the Mexican coast,
was attended by a marvelous absence,
so far as is known, of any casualt
ies, but millions of dollars tof dam
age was done to shipping, wharves,
buildings and iops in and about
Guaymas.
Captain Erazuma. of the Pesquie
ra, which was at Guaymas during the
storm, says the gale burst upon the
town about 3 o'clock on the morning
of October 4, and continued for two
days, when It suddenly stopped.
There immediately followed a terri
fic cloudburst, which worked the
greatest damage at the town of
Ortiz, about 40 miles back of Guay
mas. Soon after the storm broke the new
passenger steamer M. Herrerlas
dragged its anchors, and was driven
hard and fast ashore.
About ten schooners and smaller
vessels anchored In the harbor went
ashore soon after, and several be
came total lasses.
The Herrerias was later floated,
only slightly damaged. As the storm
gained its height seas of tidal wave
proportions rolled In from the ocean,
leaped over the wharves and flooded
the town. Half of Guaymas was
practically submerged during the
greater part of the storm.
Many strong buildings on the
water front were wrecked by the
gale and the pounding seas. Roofs
were torn off and sent hurtling over
