light and Kent went ashore on Choclay
beach four miles east of Marquette ut 4
o'clock in the morning while trying to
make this harbor. The schooners were
driven high ON the sand beach and will
weather the storm. The steam barge was
driven on a reef nearly mile from shore
and broke in two In the middle, the bow
being washed away. The other half OF
the boat is still ON the rocks, with \ fu-
rious sea beating against 1t. The life-sav-
ing crew reached the wreck at about
o'clock and took OF nine of the crew. Re-
turning TO get the other four men OF the
crew the boat capsized, and the life-saving
crew had a narrow escape from death.
Remainder Of the Crew Rescued.
When they reached shore half of them
were disabled from cold, one of them was
nearly dead, and the boat was SO damaged
as TO be disabled. Another boat was
manned at the station with part Of the
life-saving crew and the balance volun-
teers, who reached the wreck at o'clock
IN the afternoon and rescued four men
who were in yawl attached to the wreck
by a cable and in a perilous situation.
