Eachleman, wheelman; Michael Kenney,
deck hand. These were all from Marine
City.
The Wocoken left Ashtabula on Friday
bound for Duluth, carrying a cargo of
1,S0O tons of coal. She went first to Erie,
where she picked up the schooner Joseph
Paige Shortly after leaving Erie she
was struck by the full force of the storm,
and tried to make Long Point. The sea
was too much for her, however, and she
fOundered not far from the west end of
the point. She would probably have
rode out the gale but for the fact that her
matches gave way under the tremendous
seas, and the boat was quickly flooded
and sunk.
The schooner Paige cut loose soon after
she started for Long Point, and ran
safely before the gale to shelter on the
west shore of the point. She was pretty
badly wrecked.
The Wocoken was valued at $50, 900 and
owned by Captain John Mitchell of
Cleveland, who was on her when she
foundered.
