San Francisco Has a Warehouse Built on a Stranded Hulk, The Front street bullding which rests upon the wreck of a beached ship may be the only of the sort in New York, but least in one other city there is a similar structure and locally & better known one, for the reason that the building preserves the name of the ship. This is in San Francisco, where none may aspire to rank ln the ploueer or *“forty-niner” Prices very reasonable. US A CALL. HENNEY. ready nove, 1o serve [or nagstais., Gradually the bullding was alterad and patched, and the traces of the original ship disappeared from view, but the name Niantle was a fixture, and people entering the warehouse continued to speak of coming aboard or coming over the side. Ww Len the city decided to expand at the expense of the bay and filled in the flats and formed Bansome and Battery and all the other streets which have put the wreck of the Niantle bzlf a mile ine and, the filling In buried out of sight the hull and channel plates of the ship, and It to anything that had ever floated. When this first building went into decay and was con demned, the old ship was found to Iw the soundest part of it all. But It wns buried still deeper by the foundations of the large and for that time modern | building that took its place. Now there | is nothing of the ship left except the name of the bullding and the old main mast, which rans up from story to sto ry and is used to support its due share of the weight. Bome the pioneers stoutly aver that the mainmast of the Niantic prophesies the coming of gales upon the bay by the way It creaks for | two or three days before the wind | comes and that these forecasts are much more to be relied on than the guesses of the weather bureau. —New York Tribune. one at class unless he can dis tinctly “when the water eame up to Montgomery street,” which relatively to the bulk- head line represents a distance much farther inland than Front street In New York, At the time when Mont gomery street had only one side, being in reality the beach, of Ban Francisco was crowded with all soris of ships lying idle for the » rea son that all bands and the cook had skipped oyt for Sutter's Fort and the mines, It the ships discharged. never consent to be when they could be millionaires at the mines. That Is why many of the car never broached except when there was need of something to fill up the mudholes on the beach streets. No argonaut would respect himself if he could not tell of the time when he saw the streets along the water front paved with plug tobacco in boxes, One of this fleet, abandoned and der eliet at her anchors, the good ship Ni antie, parted her cables In one of the stiff winds for which the Golden Gate is notorious, drifted ashore on the mud flat at the foot of Clay street and found convenient and sticky berth about a hundred yards offshore line of the sent The underwt # pald the the current rate of wages and the sence pf labor It would have cost ball a dozen times her worth to get her off, oly even then would be of no use without sailors, Having paid the lose, the underwri ters in turn abandotiad her and probably felt in luck that the wera not called upon by OW of real estate to take the ship away, The presence of the ship aided the silting up of the mud flat, and In a short time It was awash only at high tide and finglly dry all day long. Then it was recognized that this was a new addition to the front of the city, and some business man took possession of the ship and made it over info a ware house. The vessel was sound In every timber, spars all standing and sails on the yards, the hold as tight as a drum, and if she did make as much as a foot a month it was only a short trick at the pumps to clear it out. In fact, nothing could have been better for a warehouse and general chandlery, The hold made an excellent cellar, the floor of the second story was supported by the lower masts at the tops, the roof was fixed at the crosstrees, and the royal masts were left standing above the roof. with the signal halvards OVERCOATS a Why pay two prices for Over- coats when you can save half by buying of us?
