the curtain separating the parlor from the
next room, the visitor waited. The adj
joining room attracted her attention.
There were sounds Of a struggle, then the

1t is well TO remember that combs cost

certain that the Canadian steamer Nj
agara, Capt. Henry McCleary, foundered
on Tuesday evening last about eight
miles east of Long Point, Lake Erie,
with all hands, numbering 16 persons.
Tugs sent out from Port Colburne and
from Buffalo to search for the missing
steamer have returned, bringing with
them great quantities of wreckage
picked up near where the steamer is
supposed to have foundered. The
wreckage includes part of the Nj
agara's deck, portions of the cabin,
deck beams and other material and a
quantity of shingles marked Parry
Sound,' from which port the Niagara
sailed for Buffalo. Judging from the
amount of wreckage that has been
found the Niagara must have broken up
badly in the storm.
1t is the opinion of lake cap
tains that the boat went down in deep
water about eight miles east of Long
Point, as none of her spars has been
found, and if she had gone down in
shallow water they would be sticking
up. The storm which destroyed the
Niagara was one of the worst that ever
ragged over Lake Erie. The wind was
blowing a gale of As miles an hour.
Even the largest and strongest boats
made for shelter, and it is the opinion
of vesselmen that Capt. McCleary at
tempted to turn his boat around and
run under Long Point, and in doing
SO encountered the full force of the
storm, his craft going to pieces.
