DISASTER on THE LAKES
And Eight Lives believed 10 Have
Been Lost.

DEER PARK. Mich, Oct. S.-A disas-
ter on Lake Superior in which not less
than eight lives were lost, came to light
today when a drifting fishing boat was
picked up by the crew of the Mus5a-
longe life-saving station. The derelict
was sighted this forenoon. The crew
put out in their boat and came up to the
wreck just west of the station. The
craft was found to be a fishing boat
that had left White Fish Point Oct.
for Au Train, a hundred miles west.
There were on board a crew of at least
FIVE men and W. II. Carpenter, his wife
and one child. 1t is reported that Car
penter had two children on board, but
this rumor cannot be verified. No one
was found on the wrecked boat and there
is not the slightest foundation to believe
that any escaped drowning.
