Drurywas treated at the park emergency, hospital. - For the last three, months Cliff house had been In process of renovation. John Tait, who took a "lease on the place- recently, had been lavish '•• in the expenditure of- money in refitting the house. As many as 100 men have been employed there at one time. The new furniture, which was t6 be very fine, fortunately had not 'been put in, but a great deal of work had- been done in rewiring the place - throughout, In- stalling a complete new system .of plumbing and In decorations. Tait's actual. loss was | $55,000, ~ covered - by $35,000 insurance^ Cliff house when; It was erected cost in : the; neighborhood of $60,000. The 1 monetary -loss may therefore be estimated at about ;SIOO,- 000. . It had been planned to reopen the place November > 10. Associated with Tait »tn the: venture .were , Harry, Goodall, Captain John Bennett "and others. They .were paying.' $1,000 , a month in rent and planned to expend $80,000 in fitting up the' place. Tait said last night that if he could 'obtain a. 25 years' lease he would rebuild the hbus^ himielf. __• I .--.-\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0.-.. .-\u25a0 \u25a0-.;..

Etart*<i on his autoonobile trip back to ( town, ptrollcd down to the house. This j •nig about 4:30 o'clock. Entering the j eodth porch along with O. Mulvaney. j th? watchman and care taker, Wilkins) riptic«?d a thin wreath of smoke coming} through a small hoic in the floor made l>y the electricians. 'Mulvaney. there's a fire!" he said to lh«r watchman. "Turn in the firm alarm *— <iuick:" - T!i<* watchman ; at once srave the i alarm through th<> auxiliary service,! which was installed throughout the house. Wilkins meanwhile ran around the porch to the ofSce c>n the north side |o_ telephone the poliro. He managed to secure connection with some one and had just shouted "Cliff house is burn- ing::" when, to quote hi? own words, i "there Was a loud explosion, the whole j «I<!e of the house burst Into flames and i Smoke and I was unable to see a foot arhead." . -;;':' ", ;;. Wilkins groped up and down the office, but lost his bearings entirely. Where he thoucbt there should be a door he bumped against the wall. Fl- rally he found his way to a small cash window, leading from the office to the barroom end located about breast ! high. In tbe wall. Thinking he might j liave a better clianoe to save himself j If he got Into the barroom, he shoved his hand through the small pane of jzrlass and then scrambled through. How he- did it is not easy to explain. Wil- Kins' weighs 220 pounds and the cash vlhdow was to all appearances too small to admit a man of his girth. But he was nerved to unusual effort by the feeling, of desperation that was grip- ping him and managed Jo force his way through. But his position was a hun- dredfold worse than before. He said lastnigrht: . : "I was trapped, though. There were three doors in that barroom. It didn't take me longr to try the handle of each of them." Judge of my horror to find that £ach was locked. I had gone to no <*nd of trouble to force my way into the barroom only to find myself caged. I couldn't go back because the flames \u25a0ftad come through that side in a blast. I was quite convinced that was my *nd. The smoke suffocated me. I felt my, strength going. I thought of my \u25a0wife,, shouted two or three times, and that was the last I remembered until I found myself lying on the ground outside., choking and cut, with some one undoing my shirt. WILICIXS IS R.ESCI'ED wnkins' shoutf had been heard by the' Then, of chemical station 8, who had just arrived from their headquar- ters on the hill in response to the alarm turned in by Mulvaney. Captain Kelly and- Lieutenant Landtbom and substitute fireman Fred Klatz < dashed Into the front door, while Driver Ber- nard Donnelly, the fourth member x>t the team, drove the outfit so close to the burning building that the right shoulder, of the horse was burned. Klatzl and his captain were the two who rescued Wilkins. They found him faintly, calling for help and staggering about the barroom. Into which, they fcroke their way. .Klatzl, who Is a light- weight, seized Wilkins and started him out along the track of the chemical hose, which he and Kellyhad pulled In. Wilkins. however, according to IClatzl, •wandered back In. a dazed way. Klatzl then shouldered him and carried him to fresh air. where the. brave young fire- liiatn himself collapsed. Others lifted Wilkins across the road to safety, and hr was rt-vived. ._Wh?n th«» four men of chemical sta- j tlon S arrjvcd-thr; Cliff house was en- veloped in a dense mass of smoke. Lieu- ] tenant Landtbora says It appeared to him that the fire Rtartgd on the south side in the upper basement and that the flames swept across to the north- side, near the automobile garage, and then burned up the side of the house. The fire was far too big to be handled by the chemical apparatus. All the contents of the two tanks were poured in by Kelly and Landtbom,. without any result further than to temporarily check the march of the smoke and flames. Superintendent Harrison of the Sutro baths supplemented the ef- forts of the firemen, throwing in water from a hose, but to no avail. The little body of flre fighters knew that, engines were on the way, but the time that elapsed before the ar- rival of the first seemed I never end- ing. At last, after the chemical com- pany had been on the scene about 8 or 10 minutes, engine 36, from Twen- ty-sixth and Point J,obos avenues, ap- peared. Up to this time the Cliff house had been hidden in a thick column of black smoke.- Little 'fire was apparent. Just as engine 36 arrived, however, \ structure seemed to burst Into one mass of flames. The big blaze, simul- taneously enveloping every part of the building, swirled heavenward In a great column, twisting and roaring. The firemen all agreed that there had been nothing so spectacular In this city since the great fire. The men of engine 36 saw at once that they had little chance .of waving the house. En- gine Driver H. i , Temple showed him- self a man of pluck by remaining. *by his engine and keeping it running, even although 'the fire was bo close to him that his fellows had to pump water on him to keep him from catching flre. PREVENT SPREAD 61? FLAMES Other engine companies began to reach the scene soon after and Chief Shaughnessy took charge. As soon as it was found that there was absolutely no hope of saving the famous hostelry the work of the department was con- centrated on preventing the "spread of the fire to the Sutro baths. In this, the firemen were successful. The garage connected with the Cliff. house shared the fate of the place. Several loud explosions occurred be- fore the blaze died down. These are believe dto have been caused by the Ig- nition of a quantityof painting mate- rials and turpentine stored in the:base- ment. A theory . was advanced' last night that the fire originated in;tnlB > paint, but nobody was able to explain how that could have happened. At the time the fire was discovered there were, besides Wilklhs and \u25a0 Mul- vaney, a Japanese laundryman, and hla wife and b«aby in the building. The Japanese were In the lower basement and narrowly escaped with their lives, losing all their personal possessions. Wilkins. in whose employ the Japanese was for 10 years, says the man is a thoroughly reliable and careful, ser- vant. The Japanese, cooked their meals every day by a wood fire in the basement, and It was .suggested that they accidentally might have started the. conflagration, but the laiindryman last night denied that he and his wife were in any. way responsible. People were attracted to the vicinity in large numbers when; the flames were seen. In; a little while the hill was covered .with- onlookers". ; The' news quickly, spread about the city that ' the Cliff house was burning and many auto- mobile, parties; rushed out to the beach at breakneck pace, disregarding the speed ordinances^ ' . Soldiers from Foft Mlley also hurried to the scene-Vand did (what -they' could to aid the firemen and police!?

FRED KLATZI/S STORY

No serious injury .was sustained byany of the firemen. Lieutenant M.F.Drury of engine .'26 .was caught .'underfalling walls, but the worst that hap-pened to him was a cut through theupper lip,alt-hough he was -unconsciouswhen raised. When his comradesreached him they found former ;MayorPhelan, who was the first to see Driiry'spredicament, dragging him out. Phelanhas rushed through a* strong, currentof water to the rescue of the firemanand was almost suffocated. . by ;theBtream. Drurywas treated at the parkemergency, hospital. -

For the last three, months Cliff househad been In process of renovation.John Tait, who took a "lease on theplace- recently, had been lavish '••

in theexpenditure of- money in refitting thehouse. As many as 100 men have beenemployed there at one time. The newfurniture, which was t6 be very fine,fortunately had not 'been put in, but agreat deal of work had- been done inrewiring the place - throughout, In-stalling a complete new system .ofplumbing and In decorations. Tait'sactual. loss was |$55,000, ~ covered

-by

$35,000 insurance^ Cliff house when; Itwas erected cost in :the; neighborhoodof $60,000. The 1 monetary -loss maytherefore be estimated at about ;SIOO,-000. . It had been planned to reopenthe place November > 10. Associatedwith Tait »tn the: venture .were ,Harry,Goodall, Captain John Bennett "andothers. They .were paying.' $1,000 , amonth in rent and planned to expend$80,000 in fitting up the' place. Taitsaid last night that if he could 'obtaina. 25 years' lease he would rebuild thehbus^ himielf. •

FIHEME.V SLIGHTLY HURT> '\u25a0'\u25a0

-can Jan. Mart occn out looking over •the work of the renovators and Wil- jkins, after -.valkin^ with him to the top

'of the hill, from which point Tait !Etart*<i on his autoonobile trip back to (

town, ptrollcd down to the house. This j•nig about 4:30 o'clock. Entering the jeodth porch along with O. Mulvaney. jth? watchman and care taker, Wilkins)riptic«?d a thin wreath of smoke coming}through a small hoic in the floor madel>y the electricians.

'Mulvaney. there's a fire!" he said tolh«r watchman. "Turn in the firmalarm*—<iuick:"-

T!i<* watchman ; at once srave the ialarm through th<> auxiliary service,!which was installed throughout thehouse. Wilkins meanwhile ran aroundthe porch to the ofSce c>n the north side|o_ telephone the poliro. He managedto secure connection with some one andhad just shouted "Cliff house is burn-ing::" when, to quote hi? own words, i"there Was a loud explosion, the whole j«I<!e of the house burst Into flames and iSmoke and Iwas unable to see a footarhead." . -;;':' ",;;.

Wilkins groped up and down theoffice, but lost his bearings entirely.Where he thoucbt there should be adoor he bumped against the wall. Fl-rally he found his way to a smallcash window, leading from the office tothe barroom end located about breast !high. In tbe wall. Thinking he might jliave a better clianoe to save himself jIf he got Into the barroom, he shovedhis hand through the small pane ofjzrlass and then scrambled through. Howhe- did it is not easy to explain. Wil-Kins' weighs 220 pounds and the cashvlhdow was to all appearances toosmall to admit a man of his girth. Buthe was nerved to unusual effort by thefeeling, of desperation that was grip-ping him and managed Jo force his waythrough. But his position was a hun-dredfold worse than before. He saidlastnigrht:.:"I was trapped, though. There werethree doors in that barroom. Itdidn'ttake me longr to try the handle of eachof them." Judge of my horror to findthat £ach was locked. Ihad gone tono <*nd of trouble to force my way intothe barroom only to find myself caged.Icouldn't go back because the flames\u25a0ftad come through that side in a blast.Iwas quite convinced that was my*nd. The smoke suffocated me. Ifeltmy, strength going. Ithought of my\u25a0wife,, shouted two or three times, andthat was the last Iremembered untilIfound myself lying on the groundoutside., choking and cut, with someone undoing my shirt.

WILICIXS IS R.ESCI'EDwnkins' shoutf had been heard by

the' Then, of chemical station 8, whohad just arrived from their headquar-ters on the hill in response to thealarm turned in by Mulvaney. CaptainKelly and- Lieutenant Landtbom andsubstitute fireman Fred Klatz <dashedInto the front door, while Driver Ber-nard Donnelly, the fourth member x>tthe team, drove the outfit so close tothe burning building that the rightshoulder, of the horse was burned.

Klatzl and his captain were the twowho rescued Wilkins. They found himfaintly,calling for help and staggeringabout the barroom. Into which, theyfcroke their way. .Klatzl, who Is a light-weight, seized Wilkins and started himout along the track of the chemicalhose, which he and Kellyhad pulled In.Wilkins. however, according to IClatzl,•wandered back In.a dazed way. Klatzlthen shouldered him and carried him tofresh air. where the. brave young fire-liiatn himself collapsed. Others liftedWilkins across the road to safety, andhr was rt-vived.._Wh?n th«» four men of chemical sta- jtlon S arrjvcd-thr; Cliff house was en-veloped ina dense mass of smoke. Lieu- ]

tenant Landtbora says It appeared tohim that the fire Rtartgd on the southside in the upper basement and that theflames swept across to the north- side,near the automobile garage, and thenburned up the side of the house.

The fire was far too big to be handledby the chemical apparatus. All thecontents of the two tanks were pouredin by Kelly and Landtbom,. withoutany result further than to temporarilycheck the march of the smoke andflames. Superintendent Harrison ofthe Sutro baths supplemented the ef-forts of the firemen, throwing in waterfrom a hose, but to no avail.

The little body of flre fighters knewthat, engines were on the way, butthe time that elapsed before the ar-rival of the first seemed Inever end-ing. At last, after the chemical com-pany had been on the scene about 8or 10 minutes, engine 36, from Twen-ty-sixth and Point J,obos avenues, ap-peared.

Up to this time the Cliff house hadbeen hidden in a thick column of blacksmoke.- Little 'fire was apparent. Justas engine 36 arrived, however,\structure seemed to burst Into onemass of flames. The big blaze, simul-taneously enveloping every part of thebuilding, swirled heavenward In agreat column, twisting and roaring.The firemen all agreed that there hadbeen nothing so spectacular In thiscity since the great fire. The men ofengine 36 saw at once that they hadlittle chance .of waving the house. En-gine Driver H.i, Temple showed him-self a man of pluck by remaining.*byhis engine and keeping it running, evenalthough 'the fire was bo close to himthat his fellows had to pump water onhim to keep him from catching flre.

PREVENT SPREAD 61? FLAMESOther engine companies began to

reach the scene soon after and ChiefShaughnessy took charge. As soon asit was found that there was absolutelyno hope of saving the famous hostelrythe work of the department was con-centrated on preventing the "spread ofthe fire to the Sutro baths. In this,thefiremen were successful. The garageconnected with the Cliff.house sharedthe fate of the place.

Several loud explosions occurred be-fore the blaze died down. These arebelieve dto have been caused by the Ig-nition of a quantityof painting mate-rials and turpentine stored in the:base-ment. A theory .was advanced' lastnight that the fire originated in;tnlB

>

paint, but nobody was able to explainhow that could have happened.

At the time the fire was discoveredthere were, besides Wilklhs and \u25a0 Mul-vaney, a Japanese laundryman, and hlawife and b«aby in the building. TheJapanese were In the lower basementand narrowly escaped with their lives,losing all their personal possessions.Wilkins. in whose employ the Japanesewas for 10 years, says the man is athoroughly reliable and careful, ser-vant. The Japanese, cooked theirmeals every day by a wood fire in thebasement, and It was .suggested thatthey accidentally might have startedthe. conflagration, but the laiindrymanlast night denied •that he and his wifewere in any. way responsible.

People were attracted to the vicinityin large numbers when; the flames wereseen. In;a little while the hill wascovered .with- onlookers". ;The' newsquickly,spread about the city that

'theCliffhouse was burning and many auto-mobile, parties; rushed out to the beachat breakneck pace, disregarding thespeed ordinances^

' .Soldiers from Foft Mlley also hurried

to the scene-Vand did (what -they' couldto aid the firemen and police!? The fall-ing-cinders during the height of thefire ignited CUff cottage, on the side of

Alden Belknap and': two women occu-pants- were. Wowneut of a large Pope-Toledo: automobile ]\rC which 'they hadbeen makinsra wild tour of GoldenGate park, early, yesterday morning.
