The Loss of the Pewabic.

Chicago Record.
The finding of the Pewabic in Thunder
Bay after an unsuccessful search of thirty
two years, and the probability that the
wreck can be raised and relieved of her
rich cargo of copper, recalls the fact that
there were many Detroit passengers on the
Meteor, the other boat in the collision. The
collision occurred in July, 1865 The Pc
wabic was bound down the lake and carried
about $50 passengers and crew--the passen-
gers mostly Eastern people. The Meteor,
a sister boat on the line, bound for
Lake Superior, and among her passengers
were a number of Detroit people and many
army nurses who, having been discharged,
were on their way home to Wisconsin,
Minnesota and the upper peninsula.
A Detroit survivor of the collision, recall
ing the tragedy, says: 1T was beautiful
We had seen the Pewabic for an hour. AS
the boats drew near together everyone was
passengers on the Pewabic. The boats
came so close together that papers could
be thrown across, and then the Pewabtc,
drawn by the suction cut across our bows
and the Meteor crashed into her. The
scene that followed cannot be described.
Many jumped from one boat to the other,
themselves into the lake. Within twenty
minutes after the collision all that could
be seen of the PeWablc was her hurricane
deck floating off. On our boat WAS Mrs.
Brent, mother of Mrs General Coe. and
Mrs DR. Lyster; Miss Brush afterward
Mrs. w. G.. Thompson, was also on board,
and il was she who saved Mrs. Colonel
Wright, afterward Mrs. Colonel Mansfield
Miss Brush was an expert swimmer, and,
jumping into the lake, she held Mrs. Wright
UP until help came. The Meteor began to
fill rapidly and every blanket and mattress
on the boat was taken below to patch up
the hole on the bow and the passengers took
their turn at the pumps TO keep her clear
The women were placed on the upper deck
and on TOP of the cabins with life pre-
servers i'm case she went down. We lay
near where the Pewabic went down until
morning and many dead bodies were taken
from the water and tugs from Alpena came
to help in the work of rescue. The next
morning the Meteor continued on her way
to Lake Superior but progress was slow,
and not until midnight did we arrive at the
500 1t was the first trip up st. MaryS
river at night made by any boat The next
morning the Meteor burned at the dock.
The hole in the bows had let the water into
a quantity Of quicklime in the hold. which
set the boat on fire. The fire had been rag
ing for hours. but Captain Wilson kept the
knowledge of this new terror from the pas
sengers and took his chances on reaching
his destination IN safety.

A New Edition of John Halifax.

John Halifax by Mrs. Dinah Muloch
Craik, is one of the most popular novels
in the English language, and deservedly so.
1t achieved immediate popularity on its
first publication in 1885, and has main
tanned it ever since. The secret of its popu-
larity lies largely in its sincerity its truth
fulness to nature and the fact that 1t deals
with feelings and interests natural to men
IN all ages, and which are almost immu-
table John Halifax is not exactly
moral-purpose novel, and yet it has nigh
motive. Herself an earnest Christian and
churchwoman the author set herself to
draw a hero who should, in his everyday
contact with the world. and in such condi-
tons of life as are common TO the average
human being, practice absolute Ghristiani-
ty who should make the New Testament
his only rule and standard of conduct. and
who should earn his bread by. some ordi-
nary trade, yet be emphattcally gen
tleman." In drawing John Halifax on
these lines she furnished one OF the most
interesting and attractive characters in
fiction. The story is not only thoroughly
wholesome and elevating one, but 1t pos
sesses a high order of literary and artistic
merit and is, withal intensely interesting.
A new edition of it, published by Harper
Bros. is very attractive in form and should
find many new readers.
