The San Francisco Daily Morning Call, July 30, 1864

CAVING IN. - In many places, the wharves along the city front are caving in gradually, but very surely. The old Nelson Restaurant, and the three or four buildings alongside, are canted out of the perpendicular, like a swell's bat, and the crazy stilts that still make a show of holding them up promise to throw up the contract shortly. A considerable section of the wharf in front of these houses has already gone in.
