aground near Bar Point and was lost with
| a $4,000 cargo.
The captain of the Susan r. had sailed
successfully hundreds of times between
Point Pelee and Bar Point, and in all
kinds of weather, and this time he had
a wheelman who was known from one end
of the lake to the other as one of the most
expert nayigators in the lake business.
| He had been lying up long time for the
very good reason that owing to an acct
! dent to one of his legs that leg had TO be
amputated to save his life. The lost mem
Der was replaced by an artificial leg, and
at the wheel again. His first service after
his misfortune was this trip of the Susan

"The puzzle to everybody was how 1t
was possible for the propeller, handled by
a man Of such skill and experience. on a
! straight course, only forty miles long, and
with every sailing condition favorable, to

/ puzzled and astounded person Of all He
| soon got another vessel. and this one he
ran IN such an erratic manner, but, for
| tunately, with no 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 II they
could discover what was wrong with his
seamanship. After while they discov-
cred 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 ne
did while steering, this steel deranged the
compass so that 1t threw the wheelman
way off his reckoning. and led to tho
wrong plotting that had wrecked the Su-
san r. Peck and endangered the other
vessel that the wheelman navigated sub
sequently. This was what they argued
and to demonstrate the correctness OF tho
theory the pilot took charge Of vessel
without wearing his false leg Every
thing worked to q charm. The mystery
Of the Susan p, Peck was solved, and the

confidence Of Lake Erie shippers and YES
