Two Sailors Adrift on Wrecked
Schooner Irving.
STEAMER MACKINAC RESCU rs
They Had Given Up All Hope Of
Surviving and Were Partially Un.
conscious When Picked Up by the
Passing Boat.

Harbor Beach, Mich, No. H.
Adrift on Saginaw bay, hungry, cold,
wet and hopeless, Fred and Olan Cook
of the little schooner George Irving
had lain down for what they supposed
would be their last sleep Sunday morn.
ming. The blankets in which they had
wrapped themselves on the roof of
the cabin were stiff with frost, and
they were so benumbed with cold that
they did not hear the whistle of the
ID. AZ G. steamer City OF Mackinac,
which was to save them from wa
terry grave.
On board the Mackinac Pilot Jack
Lightbody was on watch just as the
day was breaking, Capt. Styled TAX
ing his watch below Out in the mid
de of Saginaw bay Jack thought he
saw small schooner acting queerly.
Her sails were still set, but were flap
ping, and she showed plainly that she
was waterlogged. Fearing that some
body might be in distress, Lightbody
Immediately began blowing his
whistle. Again and again he blew,
but as no signs of life appeared on
the schooner he was about to pass
on when suddenly he saw two figures
leap up from the top of the cabin and
begin to wave their arms.
That was enough for the pilot. He
called the captain and reported, and
soon received orders to lower away
the yawl and go to the rescue. With
the pilot at the helm and four sturdy
sailors manning the oars, the yawl
was not long in reaching the dis
tressed vessel, and the work of taking
off the men was easy, since there was
practically no sea running. Back to
the Mackinac they went, and when the
men were warm they told their story.
The little schooner George Irving,
lumber laden, from Alpena to Marine
City, attempted to cross Saginaw bay
in the heavy Northwestern which pre-
vailed Saturday night. The crew num-
bered four, but two of them are said
to have been scared out, and left the
vessel at Alpena. The Cook brothers,
who live at West Bay City, did not
see any danger in the gale, and took
the vessel out themselves. The
schooner sprung a leak and soon filled.
Then the deck load went by the board
and the only place left for the two
members of the crew was on the top
Of the cabin. There they went and
wrapped themselves in blankets. They
said that-they sighted several vessels
during the night, and fired their rock
cts, but that no heed was paid to them.
The blankets soon became wet
through, and the cold winus numbed
them until hope fed. Then they lay
down, never expecting to see the light
of day. The arrival Of the Mackinac
was in the nick of time, and two more
thankful sailors never stepped ashore
than were the Cook brothers when the
Mackinac landed at Harbor Beach.
Here the Cooks left and went immedi-
ately in search of tug to go for the
Irving, which would prove dangerous
if left to drift about. The Irving is
owned by John Blair, was built in Bay
City in 1865 and was only 73 gross
tons.
