The box and platform erected on the large

operations awhile, and then ask each other
what the thing was fer.

that II 1t proved successful 1t would be

TlDINGS OF THE MANISTEE.

Man Claiming to He Survivor Gives
an Account of the Loss of the v~seIs
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. s.-Mr. Carlton
has received letter from friend who was
a passenger on the fated Manistee. when
the boat went out" the letter says 1--WE en-
countered very heavy gale from the south
west, and when about twenty miles out
the boat was put about, but could not
make it. The life-boats were taken out,
but before they were launched all butpne
were swept away in the storm, And
only nine persons who were on the boat
were allowed to get in. We had a terrible
time. After the boat went down there WAS
nothing but wide eXpanSe OF water before
u.s. We rolled around on the turbulent
waves cold, wet and hungry fof three days.
and one by one the waits dropped off, death
having come to their relief. Some OF them
were frozen to death, while some died from
sheer exhaustion and exposure to the wind.
Captain Mckay never left the boat, but
wrapped himself up in his heavy overcoat
and remarked: 81 will never feavethe boat
until the last soul is off. l am Captain of
this boat, and if she is coffin for anybody
she will be my coffin After the men had
left the boat the Manistee made one plunge
under the waves, and that.was the last OF
her. When we left the vessel there
were the crew and ten or eleven
passengers on board, and out OF
those who started out in the boat
! only three were saved and reached Hough-
ton. The wreck occurred off Eagle Harbor,
and there was ne possible chance of saving
the vessel under the circumstances. At the
last, when everybody knew there was, no
hope, Capt Mckay gave his orders Just rs
cool and collectediy as if he was on land"
A body floated near the shore at Pigeon
River, and fruitless endeavors were made
to secure it. 1t is supposed to be a corpse
from the Manistee, but was not identified
in any way. ~~~
