thirty miles southwest OF Long Point, parts
OF the cabin, life preservers and door Of

but there was no distinguishing marks to
tell what vessel II was from. The arrival
OF the Wilson, however leaves no doubt
but that the wreckage is from the Macy,
as the last seen OF that steamer was In
the near vicinity. Tho Macy with the
Wilson in tow left Buffalo last Saturday
with cargo Of coal. When half way up
Lake Erie the gale was encountered aud
when abreast OF Port Burwel the tow line
OF the barge was thrown OF by the crew
Of the Macy, leaving the schooner to shift

OF the Wilson the Macy was laboring heny-

their ship before the plunge to the bottom
