CHASED BY A TORNADO.
Exciting Experience Of the steam Yacht
Sapho ON Lake Michigan in
Tornado.

Milwaukee, Aug. 22.-The steam
yacht Sapho, of Chicago, met with a
terrible experience on Lake Michigan
after leaving Sheboygan Monday. The
yacht was caught in the tornado as it
spent itself in the lake, and for 80
minutes was buffeted about, those on
board expected every minute to be
their last. The yacht reached Mil
waukee yesterday. In addition to the
five men who compose the crew, there
tornado was encountered Commo-
dore NJ. j. Steffens, of Chicago, owner
of the yacht; Geo. w. Ristine, of Chi
cago, eX-president of the Colorado Il
Midland road, and r. j. Steffens, son
of Commodore Steffens.
Commodore Steffens, in speaking Of
the happening, said it was the worst
he had experienced in 81 years of lake
travel, and how the party ever out
lived the storm was more than he
could tell. ,.l-
Said the commodore: 1.-THE weather
was perfectly calm up to the time we
reached the storm. The air was clear
so that we could see for 20 miles
around. Suddenly we saw, toward the
shore, a greenish-blac cloud, 1t came
toward us with mighty roar. 1t
seemed to be turning mass, and
whirled and whirled about, first in
this and then in that direction. 1t
came on us like a fash, and so soon
that we did not have time to prepare
for it. The yacht seemed to be literal
ly swamped many times, and it was
due to only the courage of the crew
that the boat weathered the storm"
