Capt. Doneghn has, sailed the lakes for
IS years, and assmaster and seaman has
had many rough experiences, but he
never had any, IN which he. was com
PEELED to endure such physical suffering
as he did when he lost the schooner Den
mark. This, was In the fail Of 1871, and
could get outside a fearful snoWstorm
came. ,on and ,he: found it Impossible to
get through the door: It was blowing
and showing hard Under ordinary cir
c,mstances the captain would have run
for the west shore Of the bay, but he was
& fearful Of the boat. He knew she was
very weak and did not believe she would
J. i:vesin the heavy sea that was running.
Finding he could not get through, Capt.
Donegan did the next best thing under
the circumstances, and let go his am.
chors. But. they did not hold and he
saw he wal" surely being blown upon the
rocks: Once on these jagged Lodges the
Denmark would not have held together;

There was but one thing to do--they
must get line to the shore. The captain
asked for a volunteer, but not one among
all the men answered. Then he said he
would go himself. and, removing his
coat vest and boots, he made a bovine
:, in the end of rope and placed 1t over his
shoulders, He bid the crew gpod-by and
jumped into the icy water; The captain
Is a good swimmer and he strnek. out
bravely for the shore Soon he was be-,
numbed with cold, but still he struggled
OH, battling with the Icy, waves. Just as
he thought he must give up he was
thrown against a mass OF logs that were
saashing about In the surf near the beach.
Here was new difficulty. for he. could
not A1ope~to work his way in among them
without being crushed. and he found it
almost impossible to climb over them, so
roughly were they tossed about by the
sea. BY diving under some and climbing
over, others he finally reached the rocks.
This was not done, however, without ST.
perhuinan effort, and more thai, once did
the captain sink with exhaustion after
dleshasl succeeded i'll getting on the logs,
and, supported by them, rested for a
moment thus getting, strength for an
other effort. He touched the rocks, but
was washed back into deep water. Three
separate. times did he try before he was
able to find himsalf high enough to es-
cape the foree5of the waves: Then, come,
pletely worn out; he fell fat In the snow
and lay almost unconscious for several
NJ: Etstes. Before the cold however, over

to consider what Was to be done When
first he had encountered the logs and,en,
deavored to get among them he saw that
the line he bad fastened to him was too
tight about his body and that it would
