arrived here last night and dropped
anchor about o'clock. We struck
an uncharted shoal about two miles
from shore, just off Cat Head Point,
near Traverse Bay lighthouse. No
damage to ship. Collision quarters
was sounded and all hands ran to
their respective places. The crew
from Traverse Bay lighthouse and life
saving station answered the signal and
started to our rescue, but it was soon
over, and secure was sounded. so they
returned. The boys were compliment
ed by the captain for showing pres
ence of mind and orderly conduct.
She dipped to one side and the boys
all ran to the other side, and the old
boatswain's mate said that was just
what saved her. If the boat had gone
over, some of us would probably have
gone under. Tables were turned up
side down and china dishes in the off
GERS quarters were all broken.
We are now stationed in Harbor
Springs. a quiet little summer resort.
The harbor is very calm, and the sun
just arose, making a very pictur-
esque scene.
We stopped at Milwaukee and Man
