temperature ranged from 10 to % below
zero. and the land was white with
snow. Just before the blizzard began
the Ohio was off Cape LiSburne, the
land being plainly in sight. Two

the main mast and several up the miZ-
zen. MANY sought shelter about the
cabin tops and between the galley and
cabin entrance. The house fell in, trap
ping the men underneath, and then the
ship broke in three parts, about the mi z
zen and just abaft the try-works, and
except for part of the bow the Lit
