A storm prevailed on Lake Erie Thurs
DAY night. and the lake was Hlsp lightly shroud-
ed with fog. rendering navigation exceedingly
difiCult. Among tho craft out WAS the small
two masted scow Diamond, Of Painesville, ONO
with cargo o. limestone, bound for thts place.
Her crew consisted Of Robert Fulhlm, the Cap
tain; Peter Dubois, john Kingston. and boy
about thirteen years old. mined illiam Chad
WICK. When the Diamond was first struck by
the storm Capt. Fulnam SAWS tnoy were about
Ave miles northwest Of Point an Pelee Island
At first an effort was made TO get under the
lee OF the island, bur portion of the rigging be-
came hampered and the EFFORT was Of no avail.
Then, depending almost entirely on the rudder.
"A start was made for Kings vile. and good head.
way was made for about twenty minutes, during
which time the rigging had been freed and the
Diamond was scuddinR under bare poles. At
this juncture the rudder WAS wrenched away by
n heavy sea- and for n time the scow and her un-
fortunate crew were tossed recklessly over the
lake at a rapid rate, always drifting nearer the
main land, however. so long she held to-
gether Capt. Fulham felt safe and busted him
self In the construction OF sweep, which he
used as a rudder.
Abou o'clock yesterday morning. after sev-
erai hours of wind and cold rain, when drenched
the crew thoroughly una washed away the small
boat, Capt. fulham sighted what he took for tho
Bar Point light, and using hi, sweep ~ hest he
could, stepr1d for the rivor. Not until IL WAS
too late did he discover hts mist tkr. for in less
tnan an hour the Diamond struck the rocks NJ
