SIX Lives Lost by the Wreck OF the
Minnehaha at Starke. Mich.
ONEkAMA. Mich, Oct 1G.-The big
schooner Minnehaha was beached at
Starke. ten miles north of here, at
noon Yesterday. to save her from
laundering in deep water. The seas
soon overwhelmed he wreck and
drove the crew into the rigging. Be-
fore the arrival of the life-saving
crews from Manistee and Frankfort
the schooner went to pieces. But one,
Capt. William Packer. was saved.
The de1d are:
JOHN RAFFERTY,. mate.
JOHN RAFFRTY, Jr., sailor.
MARY KEEFE, cook.
THREE SAILORS. names unknown.
The wreck was first sighted ly a
man on the bluff at Starke. who
jumped on his horse and rode at
furious pace through the storm tn this
place in order to notify the life saving
crew at Manistee. A telegram brought
the life savers on q special train from
that place, and in the afternoon the
lifeboat. mortar and other life-saving
apparatus was loaded on wagons and
started through the woods to the scene
OF the wreck. The rain was binding,

the narrow roadway through the
forest
The progress of the life savers was
exceedingly slow. and il was nearly
midnight when they reached the high
sand bluff overlooking the lake at
Starko. The life-saving crew from
Frankfort gained the bluff at dark,
but even then it was too late.
All the ife-s ivers could do was to
care for Capt. Packer, who had
jumped overheard and swan ashore.
All night long they patrolled the
beach with the hope that s"me poor
sailor might have survived and would
be thrown up by the surf. but their
efforts were without reward.
At DAYLIGHT eager eyes peerel out
on the lake. There was II thing TO
indicate where the hooner lad
stranded yesterday. A mass Of wreck
age thrown up by the surf on the
beach was all there was left OF the
| wreck.
The two life-saving crews then re-
loaded their apparatus, and after
struggling for hours with fallen tim
Der finally succeeded in getting out OF

Evidence That Vessel Has Gone

SAUfT STE MARIE. Mich. Oct. l6.
The captain of the steamer jaw
Gould, which passed down last night,
report Is passing through a quantity Of
wreckage above White Fish point. IL
consisted of matches. tarpauln and
hatch frames. This would indicate
that some vessel has gone to the bot
tom with all on board. From the APP
pearance OF the wrcrkage it could not
be deterr, med whether it came frori a
steamer or schooner. The heavy seas
washing over the boat must have
broken the pins which fastan the
hatch-covers and in short space Of
time the matches, covers and frames
were swept away and the vessel filed
through the open spaces II is not
thought probable that the crew were
abe to launch their boat, or IL they
did were enpulfed in the boiling sea
befor, they had gone far.
