4 Quesue0 That Is Complicated by ne.
ports ut Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4--The whole city was
excited last evening by an extra gotten
ont by The Evening Mail which stated
that the long-lost Chicora had been
sighted at the foot of Ninety-sixth
street, of Colehour, near South Chicago.
1t was judged by those who saw it that it
was about one and one-half miles from
shore, but further investigation proved
that it was out in the lake at least five
miles. The fire boat Chicago" stationed
at Calumet river and South Chicago
avenue, at once went to the rescue. After
a vain battle with the ice and having got
to point three-quarters Of a mile from
shore this boat was Obliged to put back
into port at South Chicago.
Meanwhile tugs Protection and Calu-
met started from Chicago outside of the
ice foe and passed South Chicago in pur-
suit Of the hulk, which was then drifting
toward Whiting, Ind. The life-saving
crew at South Chicago made a fruitless
effort to reach the hulk over the Ice, but
without avail. This effort being aban-
doned a special train was furnished to
the life savers by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company to carry them to Whit
ing, Ind. The work Of rescue was then
attempted from that point"
Still later is was reported that the life
saving crew got close enough to read
the name "Chicora" on the vessel, but
could see no signs of life. She was covered
with ice and drifting helplessly with the
wind.
The latest report at this writing is from
the captain of the tug Protection which
has arrived in harbor again. The cap
tain says: ''Saw nothing but seagulls and
drift ice."
