With the arrival Of the strc5ps tn-

WRECKED STEAMER PULLED
FROM HIGH ON THE ROCKS
Saving of Turret Chief Feat Deem
ed Impossible by Lake
Vessel Men.

CALUMET, Mich. July 14.-After
many weeks of effort, Capt. Alexander
Cunning and his crew of wreckers have
succeeded in releasing the Canadian
steamer Turret Chief, which was driven
on the rocks six miles east of Copper
Harbor, Lake Superior in the great
storm of last November. Except for
the damage to the hull, the vessel is
said to be in good condition. The steam
er was f1oated yesterday and is to be
taken to Port Arthur for repairs.
In releasing the Turret Chief. Capt.
Cunning accomplished feat few vessel
men believed possible. The ship had
been driven nearly one hundred feet out
on shore. so far out. in fact. she was
almost high and dry.
To release the steamer hydraulic jacks
We're used. With their aid, the Turret
Chief was dragged few feet at a time
toward the water 1t was necessary to
repeat the operation many umes before
the steamer was carried far enough
back to float off the rocks.

condemnation. Is complete in itself. He
said. in part:

parent. In our resolution We provide for

that the Shamrock would not be re-

sailing master and crew were greatly
disappointed because the cup yacht races
would not be sailed this year.
1t Is understood that Sir Thomas Yacht
