LAKE HURON'S GRAVEYARD.
Steamer Florida Added to the List OF
Ships Sunk Near Pressure Isle.


PORT HURON Mich, May 21.-The
steamer Florida of the Lackawanna line,
bound from Chicago to Buffalo, with grain
and general merchandise, was sent to the
bottom of Lake Huron by collision with the
steamer George w. Roby at o'clock yes
terday morning, between Middle island and
Presque Isle The crew of the Florida was
rescued by the Roby, which was so badly
damaged that she turned back and arrived
here this morning. 1t was very foggy at
the time of the collision Capt. William
Smith. who is in command of the Roby,
states that when he first sighted the Flor
ida through the fog he stopped and backed
his engines. but the two boats were so close
together that it was impossible to avoid
the crash. The Roby struck the Florida on
the starboard side, about amidships. A
hole twelve feet long was cut in that
steamers wooden side, In about twelve
minutes after the crash the Florida went
to the bottom, sinking stern first and
breaking in two about amidshipS. AS she
went down the imprisoned air in her hull
blew off the cabins and upper works. This
debris is now scattered over the surface of
the lake and has been reported by several
steamers which had passed through it;
The cargo of the Florida consisted of
56 900 bushels of wheat and about $50 tons
of merchandise. Most of the latter was
-four shipped by Chicago and Western mill
ers. The loss on the cargo is estimated at
about $500 600. The Florida had a gross tom
mage of g 103. She was 270 feet long by forty
feet BEAM Her valuation was about $780,
GEO. She was insured for $4,000 with the
McCurdy syndicate, of Chicago. The place
where the collision occurred has been the
scene of many marine disasters, and there
is probably not square mile in the bottom
of the lake in that region without one or
more wrecks which have been caused by
collision. 1t is at the point where the
great highways of Lake Michigan and Lake
Superior converge The last big collision in
that vicinity resulted in the loss of the steel
steamer Norman.
