SHIPPING ON GREAT
LAKES IS RESUMED
after HEAVY STORM

Detroit. Mich, Oct. 21.-After "a
hours in shelter, while a 50-miles gale
lashed the great lakes to fury, lake
shipping was resumed tonight. The
storm took a toll OF seven lives and
sent two ships to the bottom of Lake
Erie. Only timely warnings from the
government weather bureau, officials
here declared, prevented a repetition
of the scenes of BLACK Friday" in No
vember 1913, when score of ships were
battered to pieces on the great lakes
and $50 sailors died.
With the arrival of the steamer F.
G. Hartwell at Fairport this afternoon
bearing ten survivors from the wreck
of the steamer Marshall f. Buffers. the
toll from last nights storm was def
nitely fixed at seven. OF these six per-
ished when the barge d. l.. Filler foun-
dered off Bar Point Lake Erie, after a
futile 12-hour battle against heavy seas.
The seventh was the wheelman of the
Buffers, who died when the lumber car
rier went down off Southeast Shoal, in
Lake Erie.
Captain John Mattison of Muskegon
was the sole survivor of the crew of
seven aboard the barge Filler. He was
rescued from the rigging of his sunken
snip by members of the crew of the
passenger liner Western States, who
reached him in a life boat after q thrill
ing two-hour battle with the waves.
