CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The consignees OF
the missing schooner Orphan Boy have
given up all hope Of her safety A letter
was received by them this morning from
a lake captain who saw the ill-fated craft
Friday. Dec. 4, about o'clock in the af-
ternoon abreast of Beacon islands. The
opinion OF the firm is that she either foun.
dered in the terrific gale of that night or
that she struck a reef in attempting TO
make the southern passage and went TO
pieces. Eight men were on board who
doubtless went down with her. More
weight is given to the former theory, as
bad she met the latter fate some pieces OF
her would have been washed ashore.
