a ROUGH NIGHT ON THE LAKE.
The Passengers of a Steamer Face to
Face with Death.


DETROIT, MICH, Sept. 20.-The steamer
City of Detroit arrived from Cleveland
this morning after very rough experience.
No sooner had the boat left Cleveland last
night than she was struck on the port side
by monstrous wave which fairly lifted
her out of the water. As the vessel pro-
ceeded the lake became rCugher, and by
midnight she was laboring heavily and
ad,Y strained. The paddle-box bulkheads
were sprung good deal and a leak was dis
covered in their vicinity.
THE PASSENGERS IN A PANIC.
When this information came to the pas
sengers, of whom there were about 200,
they became very badly frightened, aud
most of them donned life preservers. When
the bulkheads gave way shortly after,
terrible panic ensued. Water was forced
into the boat It every revolution of the
Wheel and rose rapidly. In the after
saloon, on the main deck, the officers apart
ments We're ais soon fl oded, as well as the
Ladies saloon. The water rose inch by inch
until it was fully six aud q half feet nigh in
the cabins.
AWAITING DEATH.
During this terrible situation the passen-
gers were clustered in the saloon prepared
for the worst One man whose name could
not be ascertained, rushed up and down the
cabin shouting: 1--WE are lost, the boat is
sinking" This, of course, added great
to the confusion, and made the
already terrified passengers very diff
cult to manage. The male passen-
gers seemed to be more frightene
than the women. The officers of the boat
'ay it was as rough nigh as they want to
see. The app earance of the b at shows
what she has passed through, Her cabins
are still flooded A ga of men are at
work putting in new bulkheads and repair
ing the other damage.
