1T was a dark evening in November.
L The street was deserted. A dark
figure sneaked through the park
surrounding the cottage and climbed
into a tree and from there it looked
into a room on the first floor through

a drawer and took out q revolver.

pressed it against his temple.

four days are preparing to resume
their journeys.
Nearly every vessel known to have

Fifty persons, 1t was estimated,

Ten bodies have been recovered
from the wreck of the big steel
freighter eight miles north Of Port

were members of the schooner Re-

fate Of the crew is unknown.
Captain Dudleson and his crew OF
twenty men and two women were
rescued from the wreck Of the Waldo
on Gull rock, Manitou island, after
q ninety-hour fight against the storm
without food or shelter The boat
broke in two Immediately after she
struck the rocks last Sunday The
huge waves washed away her masts,
cabins and pilot houses and when the

the wreck members Of the crew were
found lashed to the rigging half dead
from exposure.
Halt a score of vessels are reported
on shore from various parts of the
lake, but none were believed to be In
danger. Rescue ships in most cases
were standing by, and with the seas
diminishing all probably will be re-
leased within twenty-four hours.
