Schooner Nelson Founders Off Grand
Maraias Island-LiveS Lost.
The Schooner Became Unmanageabie,
Threw Her Stern Into the Air and
Dove Straight for BOttom-she
Sank in 500 Feet of Water.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, May 15.-
The schooner Nelson, deeply laden
with a cargo of coal, foundered in
Lake Superior, off Grand Maraias,
Saturday evening, and carried down
all hands So far as known here only
one man, Capt Haghney, escaped
from this, the first disaster of the sea-
son. The crew consisted of the follow
ing:
Capt. Andrew Haghney, of Toledo;
captains wife; twO-year-old child of
Capt. Haghney; Fred HAYES, sailor,
residence unknown; six sailors, names
unknown.
The Nelson, which is owned by the
Mitchell Transportation Co., of Bay
CITY. was in tow of the steamer A.
Folsom, which also had the schooner
Mary B. Mitchell as a consort. The
Folsom and Mitchell turned back and
arrived here Sunday afternoon with
out serious damage. Capt. E. A. White,
master of the steamer, at once report
ed the disaster to the owners.
The Folsom and Mitchell and Nelson
were laden with coal. At the time of
the disaster the wind was blowing a
gale of so miles an hour and freezing
hard. The three boats were being
coated with ice, and this added to their
coal, made them ride very low in the
water. Seas broke aboard constantly
| and the force of the gale was driving
them toward the beach.
The beach at Grand Maraias was but
seven lengths under the lee of the
boats and Capt. White determined to
| try the dangerous expedient of turn
ing the tow in the SCI and running be-
| fore the wind for White Fish point.
! Before the turn was finished the Nell
son was seen to turn toward the shore
| and it became evident that the line
had parted under the strain or had
been cut. Soon it became apparent
that she was sinking. There was no
chance of rendering any assistance
however. In few minutes the Nelson
! threw her stern into the air and dove
| straight for the bottom. Where she
sank there is 800 feet of water. The
crew had no time to even lower their
yawl boat. which hung on the davits
! at the stern.

SILYER ZOE a GUNBOAT.
Will Be Presented to the Marietta by
Gov. Bushnell, of Ohio.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 31-At II o'clock
Friday morning Governor Bushnell, of
Ohio, will formally present the fam
Gus little gunboat Marietta with the
silver service, which is the gift of the
citizens of Marietta, the Oldest settle
ment in Ohio, and for which the craft
is named. The ceremony will be with
full dress parade of the officers and
crew.
Rear Admiral Picking and the officers
and women folks of the Charleston
navy band, in their dress red coats,
etc, will add further picturesqueness to
the occasion.
The little gunboat, the companion of
the battleship Oregon in the trip around
Cape Horn, is in the dry dock and the
ceremonies will take place aboard her
there. At first it was intended that she
be 6oated for the occasion, partly in
the interest of safety, and also because
it was thought that it would be more
fitting that she be in her native ele-
ment for such an important event.

with both propellers unshipped and
about half of her internal arrange

But this has been found impossible.
by reason of the amount of work that
is required upon the ship, and addition
al shores and blocks will be put in so
that the craft can accommodate any
number of persons with absolute safe
ty to herself and them.
The Marietta, like all boats of her
class, has very long propeller shafts,
and it has been found that this makes
them powerful magnet and the gal
vanic action eats or wears off the end
so that they require attention at inter
walls. The Marietta has been in COM
mission two years. and now it i, found
that her shafts will have to be repair
ed, and also a new set forged for her,
which will be installed the next time
she IS dry locked, within a year or so.
Governor Bushnell and q delegation
of citizens of Marietta are expected to
arrive here Thursday.
