A LAKE PILOTS LEG.

How 1t Solved the Mystery OF the
Wreck of 4 Steam Propeller.
eve are never amazed when vessels
20 aground and are wrecked on Lake

On that treacherous water, for we ex-
pect such things them" said lake
skipper, "but when one is grounded On
clear day and wrecked Oh course as
clear as the day in the hands of piles
that knows the ground like book We
naturally wonder little and want to
know the why's and wherefores. Such
was the case of the propeller Susan =.
Peck that went aground near Bar point
and was lost with $4,000 cargo.
"The captain Of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds Of times
! between Point Pelee and Bar point AMI
in all kinds Of weather, and this time
he had wheelman who was known
from one end of the lake to the other as
one of the most expert navigators IL
the lake business. He had BEEN lying
I'D long time, for the very good reason
that owing to an accident to one of his
legs that leg had to be amputated 20
save his life. The lost member was re-
placed by an artificial leg, and then the
pilot was ready to take his post at the
wheel again. His first service after his
misfortune was this trip OF the Susan
q. Peck, and he ran her aground.
s'The puzzle to everybody was how
it was possible for the propeller. han
died by a man of such skill and expert
ence, on straight course only 40 miles
long and with every sailing condition
favorable, to leave her course. The pilot
was the most puzzled and astounded
person Of all. He soon got another yes
sci, and this one he ran in such an er-
ratio manner, but fortunately with nc
disastrous result, that he was compelled
to give her up. and his usefulness as a
pilot was gone. He and others went to
investigating to see if they could dis
cover what was wrong with his sea-
manship
"After awhile they discovered what
they believed was the trouble. In the
pilots artificial leg great deal of steel
had been used in the joints and other
places. Sitting close to the pinnacle, as
he did while steering, this steel derang-
ed the compass so that it threw tie
wheelman way off his reckoning and
led to the wrong plotting that had
wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endan-
gered the other vessel that the wheel
! man navigated subsequently. This was
what they argued, and to demonstrate
the correctness Of the theory the pilot
took charge of a vessel without wear
ing his false leg. Everything worked to,
charm. The mystery of the Susan 3.

stored to his old place in the confidence
