A BRAVE

Little Steamer Sea Wing Fights BraveIy
But in Vain.
The storm which resulted in such great
loss of life at Lake Pepin, opposite the
western end Of the little town, was o
straight wind blowing at a terrific rate of
speed, and it completely overpowered
the excursion steamer Sea King.
Lake Pepin is an expansion of the Missis-
sippi, about thirty miles long and extends
east and west. The steamer was returning
from the camp of the Minnesota National
guard, with q party of Red Wing people
and running Into the teeth Of the wind.
The gale was too much for the steamer
and the boat was fast getting beyond con-
troll. Capt. Wether tried to save the lives
of his passengers by RAINING the
boat aground On the Wisconsin
shore. The boat was turned over and
quickly scores of people were struggling in
the waves, from which many of them may
never be recovered. The vessel tried to
regain its right position, but quickly was
seized once more and a second overturning
upset nearly all Of those who still clung to
the vessel.
A few reached shore, but most Of them
closed their eyes under water never to sec
the light again. The search for bodies
wss begun AZ onos and over sixty had been
taken ont by daylight. The scene Of the

THE DEATH S
One Hundred and Twenty-Five We're
at Lake Pepin, and Five Killed
at St. Paul.

One Hundred and Twenty-Five We're
l:rowned at Lake Pepin, and Five Killed
ut st. Paul..
1t now appears certain that at least 1875
lives we're lostin the disaster at Lake Pepin.
About seventy bodies AVE already been re-
covered and it is thought at least fifty
more bodies are fast in the wreck
at the bottom of the lake. The list of the
killed and injured at St. Paul does not SO
far differ materially from that already sent
out, viz: Five killed and o dozen in
jurcd.
From early morning q patrol of row
boats was kept up all over the neighbor-
hood Of the wreck, looking for bodies.
Several were found in that way last night,
and q small boy was found floating and
yelling three miles from the scene
Of the disaster. Battery A., of St
Paul, kept up q ~cannonading during
the day trying to RAISE the bodies,
but without success. The little steamer
tug Wauderer tried unsuccessfully to pull
the wreck apart, and then the Ethel
of the Luella pulled apart the frame of
what had been the steamer Sea Wing up
out of the water. The Luella then pulled
releasing three bodies, one nj and two
young men. Alice Palmer, Of Trenton,
was one of these, but the two men have not
been identified. This makes O total of
sixty-eieht bodies now found.

The lake shore was made to reverberate

to the edge. of Lake City, and the disaster

The Worst Feature of the Storm Found at
Lake Pepin.
The steamer Sea Wing left Red Wing,
Mimi, Sunday afternoon with $50 passen-
gers on boarl, bound for Lake City, where
the state encampment of the state militia
is in progress. At several small towns
along the shore of Lake Pepin enough
more people we're taken on board to make
about $50 when the boat reached its desti-
nation. A barge was in tow which carried
100 of this number. Late in the afternoon
the party re-embarked for home and was
in the middle of the lake off Lake City,
when a cyclone struck the Sea Wing. The
boat became unmanagable at once. The
barge was cut loose, and after an hour
drifted to the shore with about twenty
people on board. The other 200 or more
were drowned. Sixty-two bodies have
been recovered up to z q. m.

COURSE OF THE STORM.

1t Bounded and Rebounded, Striking the
Earth at Intervals, and Leaving Death
in Its Wake.
According to the testimony of those who
witnessed the storm as it first gathered in
the vicinity Of Snail Lake, several miles
northwest of Lake Gervais and about eight
miles from St. Paul, it first began its work
Of destruction about three miles from the
Schurmeyer and Good cottages by demol-
ishing q barn and several windmills. After
this it seemed to bound into the AIR,
striking the earth again near the hamlet of
Little Canada, where the first serious dam
age was done. Again it skipped a space of
about o mile, and once again lowered to
the earth and resumed its work of destruc-
ton, its fury eliminating near the shore
of lake Gervais, where five deaths were
caused. Once again the storm seemed to
rebound into the air, only to regain the
earth half a mile further on, where the
ruins of the Gaetzke, place and bruised
inmates were left to bear witness to its
power. Here its force seemed spent, and
as it proceeded eastward it seemed simply
in the nature of a high wind, accompanied
by a thunder storm. Hail stones as large
as olives fell at White Bear lake. A num-
Der Of other cottages on the lakes were de-
stroyed and several of the inmates were in.
iured, but none fatally. Besides the
houses destroyed, q number of farms and
wind mills were blown down. No estimate
can be made yet Of the amount
of damage done to property. All sorts Of
rumors as to the killed and injured are fly
ing around. A party Of 22O seekers is
known to have been out in boats near Lit
tie Canada before the storm came up and
they are reported missing.
It is also reported that several boats left
the dock near the Schurmeyer residence
hefore the storm and NOT one had returned.
THs report, however, lacks confirmation.

toward Red Wing, and as most of the vic
Tins we're from that city, the coroner
vas notified and hfty-eight Lodies taken
there this morning after first being viewed
by him at Lakeside.
When the wreck Of the steamer occurred
it was lifted over against the barge. She
lay over on her port side and was broken
almost into kindling wood, although
enough of the framework remained to hold
it together and work on at 1880.
The bodies of a woman and child, to
which ropes had been attached,
were drawn from the water. The child
was q daughter of John Winters, of Red
Wing. Fred Sewers, a blacksmith, was
taken out o few minutes later. That
makes a total of sixty-fve bodies already
found, or probably about half the total
number drowned.
