VESSEL LOST
With "A MEN
CONVICTION GROWS THAT THE
STEAMER D. M. CLEMSON
WAS LOST.
Disaster Occurred on Lake Superior
During Storm. Many Vessels En-
gage in Search for Missing Craft.
North Shore Patrolled.

Duluth, Dec. 7.-One week has
passed since the steamer d. M. Glenn
son owned by A. B. Wolvin of Du-
luth passed the 500 bound up from
Lorain, Ohio, on her last trip of the
year
Her owners say that in all proba-
biliuy she foundered in the terrific
storm that ragged at the lower end of
Lake Superior early in the week or
is stranded on the north shore. In
either event, her entire crew of "a
men, including the officers must have
perished.
No news of the big boat has been
received since she passed the locks
at the 500. A vessel sighted Friday
in shelter behind Grand Island was
believed to be the Clemson, but it
proved to be the D. o. Mills, which
arrived in port here yesterday after
noon.
The crew of the Mills brought no
news of the missing vessel.
Fearing that the Clemson was
wrecked or in serious trouble some-
where out of reach of help on the
bleak north shore of Lake Superior,
the Wolvin Steamship company has
started out tugs and small steam ves-
sells on a thorough patrol of the en-
tire north shore, from Port Arthur to
the 500 and from the 500 to Isle
Royal. Every passing vessel at the
500 is being questioned for traces of
the lost boat and the search will be
continued until the Clemson or her
wreckage is found.
The steamer Clemson is a first
class hulk carrier, built in Superior
in 1908. .er gross tonnage is 1851.
She is 44S feet long, has 62-foot
beam and is 80 feet deep.
8. B. Champerlain, 1922 Minnesota
avenue, is captain of the vessel, w.
Mcleod is mate and j. j. Mccoy
chief engineer. All Of the officers
and nearly all the crew are from this
city. .
A steamer from the 500 is on its
way to Caribou Island and all up and
down boats have been given instruc'
tions to join in the search.
