BIG LAKE STORM
Fish Tugs Start Out in Early Morning
But Are Forced to Seek Shelter EARLY

Fish Tugs Start Out in Early Morning
But Are Forced to Seek Shelter Early
One Of the worst storms Of the year
is prevailing on Lake Michigan today
and all the craft in the harbor are
hugging their docks pretty closely At
five o 'clock this morning when the fish
tugs started out for their days work
there was no indication of a storm and
in fact there was prospect of per.
feet summer day. The tugs had been
out less than an hour when almost with
out any warning the wind veered about
to the northeast and a storm came up
which made it decidedly hard for the
boats to get back into port. While only
a short way from the harbor piers the
two boats fought the storm for more
than an hour before they were safe in
port again. The storm has been in
creasing in fury during the day and it
is claimed that navigation is practical
ly at a stand still. On account of the
storm the members of the life saving
crew have been keeping a special watch
for vessels in distress.
