One HEunds ed Lives Lost.

fOne hunOs e0 Lives LOST.
DETROIT, Aug. 11.-A collision between
the Pewabie and Meteor occurred at half
past eight Wednesday evening, six miles
from shore. The Pewabie was struck on
her port bow, just aft of the pilot house, and
sunk in three or four minutes. The boats
were running at full speed, and struck with
such terrible force as to crush in the entire
bow Of the Pewabie. At the time of the
accident it was scarcely dark, and the boats
saw each other six miles apart. When ap-
preaching they exchanged signals, and the
Pewabe- bore OFT to pass. But the Meteor,
for some as yet unexplained reason, turned
in the same direction and struck the Pewa-
bic. A number were killed by crashing
timbers. A few, passengers jumped On
board the Meteor before the Pewabie sunk.
Life boats were Immediately lowered from
the Meteor, and picked up those who were
not carried down with the wreck. There
were one hundred and seventy-five to two
hundred passengers on board the Pewabie.
Seventy-fiVe passengers and tWenty-three
of the crew were saved. The known loss
of life cannot be correctly ascertained yet
but it will be near one hundred. The Me-
teor remained near the scene of the disaster
till morning, in hopes of picking up, any
persons that might be still floating on pieces
of the wreck, but none were found. The
propeller Mohawk passed down the survi-
vors ferried to her from the Meteor, who
were brought to this city. The Meteor was
but slightly injured and continued her trip
to Lake Superior. ..,.- ....t..-

a diver to the wreck, The books and pa
