The Ludington appeal Of March 29th
says: "On Saturday last, about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon while returning from
Big point Au Sauble and about half
mile from shore, Robert Audley and
Eugene George were capsized by u gust
of wind and the former drowned. Both
after the boat turned over crawled up
ON its bottom and kept themselves i'm
that position by holding OIL as best they
could for nearly two hours mid the
breakers of a rolling sea, when at last
Mr.. Audley becoming exhausted gave
out and was washed away. Mr.. George
clung to the boat few minutes longer;
was rescued by Capt. Morgan In a life
boat from the shore, but was so nearly
pcrished from the effects Of the cold
water, that for some time was unable
to speak or move, he probably could
not have kept his position on the bot
tom of the boat two minutes longer.
Mr.. Audley, the deceased, leaves wife
and two small children to mourn his
loss, and what adds to their affiiction
and tn at of the community, is the
that the body Is yet floating
in the lake. He was q good citizen,
husband, father and friend.
