 "The island is very secluded place fifty miles out in Lake Superior. It Is very difficult to approach on ac- count of the shoals.

ing his small biplane would be fast
enough to carry him through the
choppy wind, went out in spite of
the caution.
At about eight hundred altitude, he
started to come down in spiral

small span of his machine, Peck got
into too steep a spiral, his areoplane
slid in toward the center of the vor-

His real difficulty did not become

ELEMENTS NOW BREAKING
UP OLD ST. JOHNS.
Broken In TWO Amidships, Seas Arc
Sweeping Completely over the
After Portion.

Jacksonville.-The wind and seas
are rapidly playing havoc with the
st. Johns, the big United States sue
ton dredge, which went on the rocks
of the south jetties at the mouth OF
the st. Johns river some weeks ago.
The once handsome and powerful
$3.50 900 vessel is a pitiful wreck, as
she is now badly broken amidship,
causing her stern to settle and with
every sweep of the seas the after
mart of the ship is completely sub
merged.
Before the dredge was abandoned
nv the government she was disman'
tied of all the movable and valuable
fixtures above decks, as well as Ger
tain portions of her engines which
could be reached.
The broken part of the dredge'
which is on the channel side, sways
and rocks with every swell and with
the first hard blow, it is expected
that this portion Of the vessel az
least will disappear.
