A MOST horrible cyclone swept over
the vicinity of Red Wing, MINI, on
Sunday evening last, causing the loss
Of upward of two hundred lives by
latest estimates. Among the most
disastrous casualties was the sinking
of the excursion steamer Sea Wing,
with 200 passengers aboard, but very
few of whom were saved. The details
of the awful catastrophe are truly
appalling.
