The Schooner Wave Crest, coal laden
| foundered during the storm Of last weel
in Lake Ontario. The crew have moi
been heard from and it is supposed they
add to the great loss Of life on the lakes
during the storm.

Andaste of Ishpeming. She had on 200
tons of coal. She is OF the monitor build
all steel, and resembles the whaleback.
A large number of people visite d the coal
| docks on Sunday to get view OF the
queer looking craft.
Yesterday storm which promised to
rival the destructive one OF q week ago
set in. It did not come up suddenly and
80 vessels had a chance to seek shelter.
| The big straight back the Andaste lay
below the +. & P. NJ. docks with her
nose in the wind and her uncouth bulk
scarcely disturbed by the troubled waters.
A Charlevoix tug brought the Delos
De Wolf to this place on Tuesday. The
schooner was loaded with lumber and
was badly leaking; she went into the
dry dock to be fixed up. The tug was
not acquainted with our waters and ran
! her tow aground near the south harbor
pier She was taken off without much
difficulty.

posed to be lost. She was bound for
Buffalo from Chicago with $1,000 bushels
| Of corn. She was in tow of the Charles
| A. Eddy and thep had reached Lake HUI
! ron before the fierce storm of Thursday

The Sheboygan Line from that city 10
Muskegon started in on Monday of last
week. The G. & n. W. is extending its
side tracks in that city and improving its
dock property which is quite extensive.
This may mean business for the city of
Three C's." The Taylor which runs be-
tween these points, was crowded with
freight on her initial trip.
The steamer Ohio was towed into De-
troit on Monday, almost total wreck.
She was struck by the storm while ia

she was IN charge of the mate.
The Schooner Hayes which was loaded
with $4,000 bushels of wheat was aban-
doned by her crew off Racine during the
storm of last week. After being aban-
doned she seemed to ride out the storm
all right, as she was sighted by passing
vessels. Tugs were sent out in search
| for her but did not succeed In finding
her. She was in tow of the steamer A. p.
| Wright and Captain Tousley of the latter
| is severely criticised for abandoning her.
Captain Cliff Hart left with his boat,
the Eugene Hart, on Sunday night. An
amusing incident in which he played
prominent part occurred a few days be-
| fore his departure. The captain is a
worker; when there is anything to be
| done he is at it early and late until it is
completed. At such times the captain is
with his dress what Jim Bludso was in
his talk, "keerless." One day last week
on his way from the ship yard, the cap
tain passed by the Two Rivers House.
In front was horse hitched to buggy.
just as the captain came abreast of the
horse the animal glanced at him, swung
about and went dashing up the street as
if the evil one was after him. The cap
tain looked after the runaway in wonder
What in thunder got into that horse?''
he inquired of a by-stander. Il guess
you frightened him. was the reply. The
captain looked long at his soiled clothes
as he proceeded on his way. He wasn't
wholly satisfied that the runaway was
due to him. Say, do l look bad enough
to frighten horse?" was the question be
put TO the first man he met. Il think
you look bad enough to brighten any
thing" said the alarmed stranger as he
edged off, Then the absurdity of tn,
whole position struck the captain and h,
went up the street roaring with laughter
