STEINER D. N. CLEMSON
IS S UNDOUBTEDLY \ D ! I LOST
Local Marine Men Have Given
:. Up All Hopes for the s
Safety Of Steamer.
FINDING HER WRECKAaE
IS CONCLUSIVE PROOF
Still a Possibility That ths Crew
May Have Escaped From
From Sinking Vessel.

@t -
The steamer: d. M. Clemson, in M
probability, has been lost with all her
crew. s.
Only the faintest hope that some of
the members of the crew Of the i'll
fated ship have been able to gain
the shore is left to the little, band Of
anxious friends and relatives in Du-
luth.
Men who have followed the lake and
know every crook of the shore, say
that she undoubtedly foundered near
Whiteflsh point, and that the probable
ity is that she will never be found.
They say that the reports that there
were numerous harbors that could
have given her shelter are false, and
that In the dark night she probably
foundered and carried her crew down
with her.
Marine men say that the huge rivets
snap of like so many matches when
the plates once work loose. and that
when they once get started, there is
nothing to prevent the boat going to
pieces.
If the crew or any Individual there
OF escaped, which is extremely doubts
full at this time, it seems as though
word would have been received at Du-
luth before this time The shore, ac-
cording to those who have travelled the
country, is dotted with settlers, and
that they should have been able to I
get word to their friends in Duluth
long before this time. : ssss
With the thermometer away below
the freezing point, the wind biting
cold, the waves dashing over the whole
length Of the boat, freezing to the
decks, ropes and railings, the men
must have faced might Of horror
The matches and other wreckage
that have been found near Whitefsh
point are taken by many as PROOF
conclusive that the Clemson or her
crew shall never more be heard from.
There seems to be no reason why, IL
the members Of the crew still live,
word has not been received from them.
There are many ways the news could
be sent to Duluth. even from the most
remote regions Of the shores. Men
who are acquainted with the lake gave
up hope yesterday.
The fate of the Clemson is particu-
larly distressing to Duluth people, for
the crew was made up largely Of Du-
luth men, and the great majority Of
people are loath to give UP hope as
yet.
