Duluth, Mimi, Nov. .-Twenty-six

death on the United States Steel cor
poration's ore steamer Mataafa, which
broke in half in sight of thousands in
the harbor yesterday at the height Of
the worst storm that has swept the
western end of Lake Superior in TWEEN

The Mataafa, wf1inh left her barge
behind half a mile out of the harbor,
attempted to run the canal locks. She
was caught by the waves and dashed
against the pier heads. In attempting
to go about to get back into the lake
the great sea lifted her bodily, poised
the ship like top and then dashed it
with crashing force upon the lock of
concrete masonry.
Thousands looked on from the docks,
he-Dless, and the men on deck in their
cess appealed for aid through mega,
phones.

roar Of the sea: but, although those on
shore understood, they could not help.
Not even a tug could be sent to aid the
