in the sea alone, and the situation be-
came serious for the anohored feet.
The anchors lost their hold OH the
bottom, and many of the boats settled
steadily toward the shore. In o vain
effort to better the situation some OF
the captains made q little sail and
tried to make the harbor, but they
were driven through the anchored fleet,
crashing into other vessels, carry
ing away spars, rigging, and smashing
large holes In the other boats. One
schooner, the Myrtle, whose captain
had tried to sail out of his bad posi-
tion, had all its spars and rigging car
ried away and was finally sunk with all
on board. Another boat, the schooner
Jack Thompson, crashed into the Rain
bow, causing the latter to capsize, and
being finally driven on the beach her
self. The Evening Star, having dragged
her anchors, went ashore with the
Thompson.
How SIX Brave Men Died.
The sinking of the Myrtle was the
most terrible event of the long after
noon OF horrors. Before the eyes of
10, O00 men and women that lined the
lake shore from Thirty-sixth to Thirty
eighth streets this craft went down,
carrying six men with her. For an
hour the crowds on the railroad tracks
In Groveland Park and on the neigh
boring housetops watched the waves
steadily carrying the boat toward
shore. No help came. Men ran
wildly back and forth in vain effort
to find assistance. When 400 yards
south of the Government pier the
Myrtle grounded and her anchor ca
bles became taut. Two minutes later
wave that lifted her ten feet into the
air tore the anchors loose, the wind
caught the tattered foresail, 1t bellied
to the gust, and the Myrtle was fairly
heaved out of the water. The ak men
on board waved their hands frantically.
Suddenly their signals ceased, and
they huddled together around the
broken mainmast. An old woman
knelt on the tracks in front of Thirty
sixth street station, and prayed In 9
shrill, penetrating voice that silenced
for an instant the curses OF the frantic
men about her. An instant later an
Illinois Central engine crept down the
tracks from the south pushing flat
car. On the car was brass NOR.
tar charged and ready for action.
The crowd drew long sigh Of re.
lief, and cheered the life-saving crew
Justify. The engine stopped, but nc
attempt was made to fire line from
the mortar to the doomed Myrtle, now
less than 300 feet from shore. The life
savers left the car and ran to the shore
with lines. They ran aimlessly back
and forth. One or two mighty waves
tossed the Myrtle against the break.
water. Twice she bounded back like 9
toy boat. It was after the second o!
these rebounds that the six men on
board jumped to the water. A wave
swept the craft over them. 1t filled
and settled slowly.
