THE DISPATCHES RECEIVED YESTERDAY
MORNING
from Holland nnd other points in Michigan
settled the question about ~ etEectual|y rs
the later ones Of the washing nsllore Of a
body, and left no room for doubt. Prior
to the receipt OF these melancholy
tfIlitgs the Goodrich, office was never with
out sot'lo sorrowlng friends calling to sec If
further Information had been received about
the stca'ncr, or IT anything additional had
been learned rs 10 tho names OF the pns-
scnRcrs who wero upon her. The 1nyariable,
reply Of tho clerk was:
"No, there Il not word yet, But Capt.
nutlln !cft Inst night for tho cast shore to in
vesf1gate tic report about Il deck being found
as Stony Creek, near Montague, yesterday,
and We expect to hear from hin to-tiay some
time. III the meantime, however, we havo
received telegram from Montague an
no1lncinK that tho tlcck washed ashore ut
Stony Creek Is not the deck Of the Alpcna

and 1t was apparent that the Alpena must
hive sunk either in mId.lake ora little east Of
there. No anlall bUat, If INC were left upon her
decks, coul.t have lived II, such 4 gale, and
there ~, therefore, no possibility that any
survivor will ever he picked up. It is doubt
fnl whether any Of the crew, seasoned and
hardened TO exposure rs they are, could
have survived the Immersion in thu Icy
water, bu!Ec.et. whipped, md lashcd Us they
must l'ayc beer by wind ami spray.
