The Ludington Record, of last Thurs
day says: "A1out s o'clock Wednes-
day morning, the waters Of Lincoln
Lake had risen to such an unusual
height as to overflow the embankment
thrown up across the low ground to the
southwark of the hill this side of the
village. In an incredible short space
of time the action Of the water had cut
u deep channel clear through to Lake
Michigan, and had become q roaring,
surging, resistless torrent, carrying all
before It. The gensing house and sur
rounding buildings were quickly under
mined, and falling to one side were half
buried in the sand, carried down by the
food which inclined more to the south
ward. BY the middle Of the afternoon
the channel was not Iess than 100 feet
wide, and must have been several feet
deep, rs trees and stumps fthe largest
size were carried OUT Communication /
from the city .northward is entirely cut
Off for the psesent The water of the
lake must decrease In depth many feet
before the torrent will subside to any
appreciable extent. Quite q number of
our citizens visited the scene during
Wednesday. From three to Ave acres
OF land has been carried out"
