The Inflated Pewaubic-A Thrilling
Account by survivor-$300 for a
Trunk.

The following interesting description ia
from one who was on the propeller Pc
waublc, which lies at the bottom Of Lake
Huron, of Thunder Bay, about sixteen
miles from this city
EDITOR ALpENA ARous :-IHaving re.
Gently read brief description In your en-
terprising journal, that an effort Is about
to be made to discover and raise the
wreck OF the ili-fated propeller Pewaubic,
which was sunk by collision with the
steamer Meteor, about 8 p. NJ, Wednes-
day, August 9th, 1866, about six miles
from Thunder Bay Island light, 1t occur
red to me that, as one Of surviving pass
engers on the Pewaubic, / could recite
some Incidents that would be OF interest
to your readers and perhaps OF value to
the brave man who will make the heroic
effort Of walking upon her decks as she
lays upon the bottom Of Lake Huron.
The Pewaubic was comparatively new
propeller, having been built at Cleveland
few years previous. AS she lay at the
dock at Houghton, where took passage
the day previous, she appeared staunch
and majestic as some OF the iron monsters
that now pillow the mighty waters of tur-
bulent old Atlantic.
There was an excursion party on board,
composed Of passengers from Ohio, Cleve-
land, Detroit and other cities and inland
towns. l was then on my way from the
north with important papers and docu-
ments to submit to President johnson, in
Washington. l had passed two or three
days with schoolmate at Houghton,
Charles Smith, who was identified with
one of the great mines Of the upper pen
insula.
The steamer was gayly decorated with
banners and pennants, and was indeed
thing of beauty to behold and admire.
When she backed out from the dock the
band was playing and hundreds of cheer
full faces were smiling bon voyage to all
on board. AS we steamed down Portage
lake and river, no one had the slightest
idea that in few hours many who were
joyous and free would be locked In the
cold embrace Of death hundred fathoms
deep.
We left Houghton about IL A. NJ. OF the
9Th of August. The rugged outlines OF
the distant mining regions were then
somewhat primitive and the mighty
smelling works that now characterize
that section were not even in embryo.
The scenery as we passed out into Lake
