Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-07-20

The steamer Meteor, Capt. R. 8. Ryder,
arrived from Lake Superior on Monday
night. We are indebted to her gentleman
" and efficient clerk, Mr.. ]. t. Hough, for
the following memoranda of her trip: Left
ontonagon Wednesday, ,July13th, ,at one A. N.
Called at the usual way ports. The steamer
Illinois was still on the Reefat Eagle River.
She had not, up to the time we left her,sus-
tanned any further damage than where she
first struck the reef, and she only sank to
her main deck, not hurricane deck as was
previously reported. The Meteor lay along
side some twenty four hours, and with both
crews and some men from the mines sue
ceeded in lowering the water to below her
furnaces, but could not keep it under check
long enough for them to get up steam, ow-
ing to the men at the pumps giving out
Had there been steam pump on board
they would have succeeded in getting her
of. Finding they couldn't keep the water
down because of the men being exhausted,
they were obliged to let her fill again. As
we could not assist her any more, we left
her Thursday morning. The weather has
been remarkably good, having very little
winds, and no sea, and should the weather
continue good till Monday, with the tive
steam pumps that will reach her by satur-
day night she will without doubt be on her
way down for repairs by Monday night

Portage on Thursday at 3 P. NJ, steamer
Lac La Belle miles above Marquette, on
Friday at ten A. NJ. Left Marquette on the
same day at nine P. NJ. There was long
