Winter Navigation.
The Northern Transit steamers have
been experiencing the difficulty and
perils Of winter navigation. Last week
the prOpellers Maine and Milwaukee,
while attempting to make the passage
from Detroit to Cleveland, got froze in
on Lake Erie and had to secure the ser
vices of tug to break them out. They
succeeded in reaching Cleveland where
they laid up. Last Sunday night the
City of Toledo, bound from Milwaukee to
LudingtOn, went ashore about nine miles
above the latter port. The following in
regard to her we take from the Inter
Ocean:
The wrecking tug Leviathan is at
LudingtOn, and will attempt the rescue
of the propeller City of Toledo. She Wis
tied the wrecked propeller on Monday,
but, owing to heavy sea and freezing
weather, could not then do anything to-
ward relieving her. She is covered with
ice, and resembles huge iceberg more
than an N. L. propeller. Her condition
is reported as very bad, and it is feared
she will prove total loss; but with the
fortunate presence of the Leviathan, and
the coming on of the present mildish
weather, she may be released. A large
portion of her cargo had been jettisOned
at last accounts.
The crew were not rescued until near
ly 2 o'clock Monday afternoon and the
propeller struck at o'clock Sunday
night. They were then taken off by the
life-saving crew from Hamlin, who,
though retired for the season, organized,
hurried to the scene, and did gallant
work. Not one life was lost of the crew
OF nineteen, and all were in the greatest
danger for seventeen hours. They suf-
fered greatly from exposure but all are
safe. 1t is said that the captain of the
propeller and his under officers acted
with the greatest cOOlness and bravery,
and that the fact that no lives were lost
before succOr arrived was due to the eX-
cellent discipline exercised over the
crew.
The cargo is total loss. Much of it,
as stated, has been jettisoned, and the
remainder is all wet and frozen up. The
propeller is full of water, and the seas
made clean breach over her crushing
in gangways, washing through between
decks, and freezing so that she is now all
over and full of ice. She is described in
the dispatches received as "a spectacle to
look att
The propeller is eleven years old, meas
ures 4l6 tons, classed B 1, and was val
ued at about $4,000. 1t is understood
that there is some insurance on her in
the Royal Canadian. The cargo, ship
ped from Milwaukee, is also doubtless
insured.
