WAukEGAN, ILL.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The schooner
Newhouse, carrying cargo of pota-
toes. sank OFF Waukegan early today
and Capt. O. l.. Christianson and the
crew OF two men, were compelled to
leap into the icy waters OF the lake
TO escape being dragged to death by
the sinking craft.
The boat sprang a leak, flooding the
hold and carrying the craft down, al
most before the seamen were aware
of their danger. Then they leaped into
the water and started TO swim ashore.
They were batting desperately with
the waves when they were seen by
the lifesavers and were rescued just
as they were being overcome by the
cold and exhausted.
The boat, which was from Jackson
Harbor. Mich, reached Waukegan
Sunday night.
