We raised our eyes, and beheld
q woman with her hands clasped

asked:

We gave her a bundle of old ex-

feeling grateful.

The gale of Sunday night, Nov.
%, was the cause of no little I'M
pleasantness among the crafts then
upon the waters of our chain of
lakes, and in some cases resulted
in loss of life.
The propeller Jenness, which
left Bay City Sunday, with the
barges Wyandotte, Sweepstakes
and Jones in tow, was caught in
the gale when off Point au Barques,
and the Sweepstakes broke loose
from the tow, but finally made her
way to the river, minus most of her
canvass. - 49, -..
The propeller Trader, which left
the same port on the same day,
was compelled to cast off her tow
near Point OF BarVnes, and one of
them, the Waurecan, waterlogged
and foundered on a reef. The crew
were rescued on Monday night,
some of them badly frozen. The
rest of the tow reached Sand Beach
harbor safe.
The three barges II. A. Cham
berlain, George Kelly and H. & g.,
in tow Of the steam barge Elmira,
bound from Buffalo to Bay City,
light, were at anchor off Cleveland
Sunday night, the Elmira coming
in to coal. The heavy sea parted
the anchor chains of the Chamber
lin and Kelly, and the vessels went
ashore; the former broke In two,
total loss. The II. & G.'s anchor
held and she was brought in by a
tug. No lives we're lost on any of
the vessels. The Chsmberlin was
owned by Ferris Bros, of Bay
City, the Kelley by VIM. Kelly and
Capt. Kehoe, of Bay City. No in
surance on either.
The steamer Dunlap, which was
on her way to Detroit, took refuge
in Sand Beach harbor, where she
remained till after. the gale. ,teJ
The steam, yacht Favorite was
fast in the ice on Saginaw Bay,
with no fuel or provisions. The
Favorite was commanded by Capt.
Hazen, Of Bay City, and on Satur-
day morning left one of the west
shore ports for Bay City. As she
never carried only provisions and
fuel enough for one ordinary trip
of "a hours, It was supposed that
the supply Of both had failed. A
telegram was sent to Bay City for
q tug to go to the Favorite's as
sistance, but it was utterly imposs.
ible for tug to get out Of the
river at that time. 59AAG1t
