were at once lowered, but within five
minutes the Pewabic went down. Many

In 1857 the freighter Merchant
foundered in Lake Superior with all
on board. Not even a piece of her
wreckage was ever found. Twenty
five years later. in 1872 the schooner
Whitney foundered in midlake Official
records of the disaster simply state
that she foundered "mysteriously."
Nothing Is known of her except that
she left port shipshape and was never
heard from again. In both these in
stances every soul aboard persisted
with the ship.
A year later the schooner Mollison
met with like fate. She was lost with
all hands in Lake Superior. She
foundered in the treacherous waters
of the great lake. In 1879 the Wan
buna, a Canadian vessel. foundered in
Geogrian Bay. Thirty souls went down
with her. None survived to tell the
tale Of the disaster.

and no cause Was everfound. In 1850
the crack passenger steamer Alpena
disappeared in Lake Michigan. She
was last seen about thirty miles oft

of wreckages were picked up along
the shore of the lake 1t was the last

all. No doubt an explanation exists
as to the manner of her destruction.

The passenger steamer Asia, one of
the finest on the lakes. persisted in the
same mysterious way in 1882. This
was one Of the most terrible tragedies
ever enacted on the chain of lakes.
More than 100 lives were lost. Two
were saved after hours of terrible
suffering in the icy water These say
the boat "fOundered.'

GREAT LAKES WORSE

Sinking of the Lady E gin Cost Nearly 300 Lives.

1t is generally admitted, and
storm navigation is more dangerous on
the Great Lakes than on the ocean.
There is not space enough for safety,
channels require more skill than the
broad sweep of the ocean. There is
always a lee shore near. and vessels
cannot run away from it as they can

Lakes. 1t is an awful death list, 100
to 200 in single season. that the
beautiful Great Lakes have claimed
as their prey. Is it any wonder that
they have gained for themselves the
reputation of being the most perilous
body of water in the world?
While the majority of the wrecks
have been ordinary" marine disasters
which have strewn the shores with the
wreckage of a thousand vessels result
ing in millions of dollars OF losses to
their owners, there have been some
wrecks that will never be forgotten,
either because OF the frightful loss OF
life or because they are still mysteries,
tales of boats that have simply drop
ped out of existence, bearing with
them to oblivion their entire cargoes
of humanity.
From 200 to 400 vessels of all kinds
are wrecked every year. says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer OF that num-
Der perhaps one-fourth are total
wrecks. The financial loss is always
upward of a million dollars and many
years it approXimates two millions for
the vessels alone. The losses to the
cargoes are invariably half million
more.
Every spring and every fall the
treacherous waters of Lake Erie wreck
several vessels. Few of the huge
modern carriers are ever wrecked by
the fury of the storms alone, but
