LOST IN SHlPWRECK.
Steamer Margaret Olwill Goes Down
in Lake Erie.

In a northeast gale the steamer Mar
garet Olwill, laden with stone from kel-
ley's Island to Cleveland, foundered in
Lake Erie off Lorain, Ohio. Nine per-
sons were drowned. Four members of
the crew have been picked up by passing
steamers and taken into Cleveland.
From the reports of the survivors the
Olwilfs cargo Of stone shifted while the
vessel was laboring in the trough of the
sea. Shortly before it went down the rud-
der chains parted, allowing it to fall off
into the trough. AS the helpless craft
rose on top of heavy sea the stone slid
to leeward, the steamer listed heavily,
and sank to the bottom. The rescued menu
bers of the crew were found floating on
the surface of Lake Erie, clinging to bits
of wreckage. Their rescue was attended
by exhibitions of great heroism, for
heavy sea was still running when they
were picked up.
The Olwill lies in fifty feet of water,
eight miles off Lorain. 1t belonged to L..
Z. and J. A. Smith Of Cleveland and had
been carrying stone from the quarries at
kelley's Island to Cleveland for the
breakwater now being built. The Olwill
was launched in 1887 and was 175 feet
long and 81 feet beam. 1t measured 5o4
gross tons.

similarly enforced against them also. The
