THE cREw-ELEvEN MEN SAVED FROM THE
WRECK.

from the Chicago Press, Sept. 1911
The storm yesterday very this end Of the
lake, rolling in heavy from the northeast All the
lumber vessels coming down before the gale being OF
light uraught were fortunate enough to make the har.
Dor. entering close to the north pier but heavily loaded
vessels dare not attempt that channel with the
ter high it yesterday The bark Sunshine lay
vel at anchor all day distance north of the piers
and another vessel lay Off nearly opposite the habor
but so tar out that she could not be ientihed.
The brig Tusoarora loaded with COAL from Cleveland,
to anchor south of the bar yesterday morning but
immediately comu enced dragging and dred rapidly to
eeward until about one mile south of the piers and only
three four hundred feet from the railroad breakwae.
Her masts then cut away and she held better
although still drifting slowly.
As night was approaching, and the prospect that
the storm would increase the situation OF the be.
came critical. II the vessel should fill and sink or go
against the breakwater during the night they must all
inevitably be lost As their danger was report
ed to the harbor master Captain j. A. Napier he and
Captain Warner Marine Inspector Of the Chicago Mutual
Insurance Company, commenced rallyng to go
the rescue with the TWO government life boats No diff
culty was experienced In collecting band OF
and skul from the vessels in the river and abont
four O'Clock the boats left the harbor.
The passage from the harbor to the wreck accom-.
pished without much difficulty. The shore was lined
with spectators TO witness the rescue and hundreds stood
upon the railroad track. The boats we're welcomed on
their arrival at the brig by cheers from crew eleven
persons in ALL The debarkaton was effected BY the life
boats rowing cautiously 10 the side Of the vessel and
as they driited astern those board would seize
favorable moment 10 leap into them. Every time that
one Of the leaped into life boat shout Of Joy
would burst forth from the crowd the railroad track
and be echoed by those gathered the shore. Capt
Muens of the 1uscarora the last 10 leave the
wreck He declared at first that he would remain on
board and share her fate, out at last suffered himself to
be persuaded to jump into one of the boats.
Now came the long pull to reach the harbor. Each
beat had six in the row-ocks and steering oar
dashed in its place. They seered by the two Ma
piers, who exhibited much skill in keeping them head to
the seas running as they did mountain high The boats
made good headway against the wind and waves and
reached the harbor without accident the persons in them
completely drenched by the spray. As they passed up
the river the people the dock testified their admra
ton Of the bravery othose who manned them and JOY
the success of the effort by enthusiastic cheers and clap
