ports of more missing vessels came in
today but great fog banks had settled
down over Lake Huron and the sec
ret of the number and identity of lost
ships and men in the recent gale was
far from being revealed. The latest
disaster reported was to the effect
that the steamer John A. McGlean
of the Hutchinson Steamship COM
pany, of Cleveland, had gone down.
The report came in today.
Including the Mclean. six ships
may be on the bottom of Lake Huron,
and a hundred or more sailors are
almost certain to have been drowned
The bodies of two men who sailed on
the Mclean are said to have been
picked up today below Sarnia in the
st. Clair river. The steamer passed
up here at 1920 Sunday morning and
nothing has been heard from her since
then. until the reports came in today.
One of the bodies is said to have been
identified as that of John Cody.
Up to this morning, q bodies and
wreckage of all description had been
tossed up on the Canadian shore from
Point Edward, opposite here. north

was certain, however, that the bottom
of the two steamers were much alike
and statements that the mysterious
wreck was that of the Regina would
not change their opinion until diver
had gone down and read her name.
The list of recovered dead is as
follows:
Three from the steamer Regina.
One unidentified.
Seven from steam Price.
Twenty from steamer Mclean.
Seven from steamer Carruthers.
