CRASH IN FOG
GOODYEAR AND WOOD COLLIDE
ON LAKE AND FORMER SINKS,
DROWNING ALL BUT FIVE OF
SOULS ON BOARD

Cleveland, O., May 24.-The steam
ers James B. Wood Of the Gilchrist
fleet, and Frank B. Goodyear Of the
Mitchell fleet, collided in a fog near
Thunder bay last night. The Good
year was sunk in forty-seven fathoms
of water and seventeen Of the crew
are reported to be drowned. Captain
Heminger and six Of the crew were
rescued by the Wood. The latter
reached Port Huron with six-foot
hole in the bow. Both we're steel YES
sells. The Wood was upbound and
the Goodyear down.
Boats Collide in Fog.
Port Huron, Mich, May 24-The
collision of the Goodyear and the
Wood occurred thirty-hve miles north
of Point Aux Barques at $3.50 Monday
morning in a heavy fog. The Good
years captain and steward, the stew
ards mother and the wheelman We're
saved and brought to Port Huron on
the Wood. Many of the Goodyear's
crew were killed by falling matches
before they had chance to jump in
to the water. All had life preservers
when the vessel sank. The Goodyear's
cook had his baby dashed from his
arms by falling hatch and the infant
was lost.
All But Five Lose Lives.
When the steamers came together,
the crew of the Goodyear, which was
struck amidships, had only time to
seize life preservers and only a few
could jump overheard before the boat
began to fill. Suddenly the Goodyear
parted in the center and sank out of
sight, carrying with it all but five.
The bow Of the Wood was badly stove
in, but it was kept afloat through ef-
forts Of the pumps. The Woods
life-boats were lowered and Captain
Hemenger, Steward Bassett and hi;
wife; Frank Mollick and George
Grant were taken aboard. The Wood
remained near the scene seven hours,
but failing to find more Of the Good
years crew, steamed for this port, ar
irving today.
One survivor says those aboard had
no chance, the Goodyear sank so
quick. He saw in the lake woman
with child in arms and at the same
instant one of the matches struck the
woman and both went down.
