TIDINGS OF THE MANISTEE.

A Man Claiming to Be Survivor Gives
an Account of the Loss of the Vessel.
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. S.-Mr. Carlton
has received letter from friend who was
passenger on the fated Manistee. "When
the boat went out" the letter says, ''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 but one
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
us. We rolled around on the turbulent
waves cold, wet and hungry for 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: L will never leave the boat
until the last soul is off. / 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 no 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 as
cool and collectedly as if he was on land"
A body hoated 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.

discovered sooner, and a large amount
saved to the State. Instead of this the
States money was nearly all deposited,
in Nashville, where the 60 ring

more easily handle it. The Me.
chanic' S National Bank Of Knoxville is
a designated State depository, vet
there are only about 5000 deposited
IN this bank. According to the mes.
sage Of Governor Hawkins there
should be about 100000 in the State
Treasury. Had one third or one.
fourth OF this been deposited in the

vile, as the spirit Of the law contem-
