Steamboats, Playing at Hide and go Seek
A heavy fog hung over our city and the lake,
Wednesday evening, rendering it impossible
for vessels to see their way into or out of port
The steamer Pacific from Chicago, and the
superior from Buffalo, arrived off our harbor
between and p. m. when the fog was at
the densest. and impervious even TO the rays
of our friend Joe Shewood's bright and well
kept light on the bluff. The Pacific. not be-
ing able 10 make the light on the bluff. or the
pier, rang her bell. The Superior, which
was cropping about in the fog, mile or two
farther North. taking the pacihc's bell as a
signal from the shore, rang hers in answer
The Pacific, deceived in like manner, put of
in the direction of the Superior's bell, ringing
hers at intervals The Superior, at the same
time, was hunting about for the pier whence
the ringing they heard was supposed to pro-
ceed Nearly two hours were passed in this
agreeable occupation. the pier unaccountably
shifting its position every few minutes, and
battling the efforts OF either boat TO find IT, All
length the mystery was explained, and both
boats, after a regular game at hide-and go
seek in the fog, got safe alongside of the pier.
