THE STORM.

Probable Loss of the Schooner MaEclinn-
Other Casualties,
The furious sea that had lashed Lake Michi-
gan SO furiously Thursday anu Friday calnled
down yesterday, and the wind yeered around to
the westward and blew gently. The weather
was clear and cool, and vessels that had been
detained left port fur their destinations.
The great storms of last week were not with
out their victims, though it was confidently m
ticipatcl that the worst had passed without cn-
tailin. tue loss of life. It is q fact worthy Of
note that the terrific gales OF last Monday and
Thursday passed over this immediate vicinity
without the loss Of any PERSONS life. notwith-
standing the numerous disasters and accidents
that occurred TO shipping i fearful disaster
has happened on the northwestern shore Of the
lake. Dispatches have been received that the
stauch cana1 schooner Magellan, Capt. Jessup,
foundered off Two Rivers, seven miles north Of
Nlanitowoc, and all on board, including the Cap
tain and six men, pcrishcd. Four bodies and a
portion OF the vessels stern, with slam" upon it,
washed ashore Friday, and the inference was
that the Magellan was the craft, aud she had
foundcrcd aud sank. Capt. Murray, Of the
Canadian schooner Mary Merritt, that ran back
1lad received . dispatch from Two Rivers stating
that four bodies had been found there, but
could not be identified. Capt. Murray says that
llc was in company witt, the Magellan Nedncs-
from her and returned to Chicago OH account
OF heavy weather. She was yeat}ltring The
heavy sra nicely, and he thinks she must
have gone on her course without meet
nr with any disaster. ue could not
bclcvc that she had gone down, and Was Inclined
~ the opinion that she had gotten much farther
! than two lnsc7s between "Wednesday night and
Thursday night: Another. dispatch gave the
| name uf the ill-iatc4 vessel as the Mcclellan,
| but tho belief here is quite general that
| IT WAS THE MAGELLAN.
| The latter left this port for Toronto carly on
I the morning Of the 1th inst, with . cargo Of
at the same time, also bound for Toronto. Tue
/ theory was advanced that the Magellan might
| have been rIn down by some propeller or sail
| vessel, which would account tor the wreckagc
found ashore, hut that might have OCCURRED from
| the sinking of the craft. Experienced mariners
saw she could hardly have founucred unless her
cargo shifted, and they are at a loss to account
! Tor the disaster.
The Magellan was built in 1873 by L. Shick-
! luna, OF st. Catharincs, Ont, Tor Mr.. Murray
and others, and was valued at St7,030 the pres
