sunk off Walllerville in a collision with
the steamer John w. Moore, and two
sailors on the schooner were drowned.
The Richards and the Lake Forest were
in tow of the tug Cressel, bound for
Lake Erie ports, the former being
loaded with pig iron. When off Walk

were either killed when the boats met,
or the vessel sank before they could
escape from their quarters.
