LOST ON LAKE ERIE.
steambar&c Margaret OIwiIi Found
ers During Storm-icight
Persons Perish.

Toledo, o., June 30. - Nine lives
steambarge Margaret 0lwill in Lake
Erie Thursday morning about two
O'Clock. The following are those who
went down:
John Brown. captain, Cleveland: Mrs
Brown. wife of Capt. Brown, Cleveland;
Richard Brown. son OF captain; Miss Hunt.
guest OF Capt. and Mrs. Brown, Cleveland:
w. Doyle. fireman. Cleveland George
Hebron, wheelman, Cleveland Frank
Hipp. Waterman. Kelley's Island; -
James. Cleveland.
John Smith, first mate; Alex McRea,
chief engineer; Luke Schinski, sec
ond engineer, were rescued by members
of the crew of the steamer Sacramento
and taken into Lorain by the tug Cas-
cade. Duncan Coyle was picked up by
the passenger steamer State of Ohio and
landed at Toledo.
The barge Margaret 0lwill left Kel-
ly's island at six o'clock Wednesday
night bound for Cleveland with cargo
of stone. There was little or no wind
blowing and everything was favorable
for pleasant run. At eight o'clock the
wind began to blow from the northwest
and the little boat with a thousand tons
capacity began to go at a lively clip. At
ten o'clock the gale commenced and the
wind blew at the rate of so miles an
hour. Suddenly the gale turned to the
northeast and Capt. Brown found that
the boat was making but little head
way and concluded the only thing to do
was to turn back and go with the
storm. According to the story of Coyle
it was two o'clock when the captain
gave the order to turn about. The YES
sci had turned half way round when
the rudder chain parted and in an in
slant the boat was at the mercy of the
storm. She was caught between two
waves and as she was borne along the
top of one of them she rolled over on
the side. The cabins came loose from
the hull of the barge and floated on the
water while the rest of the ship went
to the bottom. Whether any of the
occupants were able to take advantage
of this ii is not known. but Coyle says
he saw Schinski, the second engineer,
and Hebron, the wheelman, after the
boat went down, but that was all. Coyle
caught hold of part of the after cabin
and climbed upon it.
