Heads for Sea--Torrential rains which undermined a cliffside road here sent this three-story house belonging to Richard Flemming of Riverside sliding down the face of a 60-foot cliff. Although severely damaged, the house came to a halt before it smashed on the beach below. No one was in the house at the time.
