On BLACK Friday"

The Colgate sank during the night OF
what has been termed BLACK Friday
in marine circles. Six men were lost
when the steamer Filler sank in Lake
Erie on Friday, only Captain Mattison
being saved. Earlier that night the
steamer Marshall F. Buffers found
cred, but the crew of IS men were
saved.
Less than an hour after the Filler
sank, the Colgate, largest of the three
vessels went down miles away. The
loss of her crew has raised BLACK Fri

| At first Captain Grashaw was unable
to tell the names of his two compan-
ions on the raft. When he rallied he
said they were Second Engineer Harry
| Ossmann of Cleveland, and coal
passer, whose name he did not know
and who had shipped at Buffalo, n. T.
just before the Colgate left there Fri
day morning on it's way to Fort Will
liam, Canada. with coal.
Captain Grashaw could be seen by
his rescuers PROSTATE on the raft, MS
numbed hands wrapped around the
ropes and his body dashed by the
waves.
Captains Story
Captain Grashaws story follows:
I'VE were passing Long Point about
or O'Clock Friday night when the
ship sprang a leak forward. All hand ;
were aft at the time and Immediately we
could feel her tipping and settling at
the head
Every man worked for his life thea,
but it was no use BY 10 O'Clock the
storm had increased, SO that the Colgate
did not have a chance. The gale was
terrific; rain was driving and the waves
pounded We got the life raft ready just
as the boat was so far down that he.
decks were awash.
when she sank everybody jumped into
the water. l went down and whe1
came up by some chance my hand toucn-
ed the raft. I grabbed it and pulled my
self on it just as Second Engineer Harry
Ossmann and the coal passer reached it.
What happened to the other l don't know
l never saw them again. They must
have been sucked right down with the
ship.
Then our awful fight began-something
I'll never forget. Twice the raft turned
completely over and We were washed
loose but we managed to regain our
holds. | must have been unconscious
half the time for now l can't remember
distinguishing from night and day while
the storm went on and our raft plunged
with us, never once in sight of ship
that might rescue us until this morning
First the coal passer was washed
away Ten hours later Ossmann. total
ly exhausted, was swept to his death.
How / managed to keep on the raft do
not know. Time and again it turned over
with me. Each time had to fight my
way on top again"
Fears were entertained today for the
safety on the steamer Merida, bound
down with pyrites from Fort William.
Ont. She was reported seen at 10 o'clock
Friday morning by the steamer Briton
% miles east of Southeast shoals, in
Lake Erie, making heavy weather Of it.
The Briton got to Buffalo at noon today.
The Merida should have been there IS
hours earlier.

pressed in the financial district that there
was possibility that Mr. Layton had
been trading on the short side of a bull
market.
This could easily have been the case, as
the market has been going up almost contin-
ually for the last three weeks. and any one
trading on the short side would have been
compelled to cover.
The financial district did not regard the
failure as an important one The firm dealt
to some extent In mining stocks. Later in
the day the stock ticker carried this an
nouncement: Il. 7. Taylor & Co has been
suspended for insolvency"
According to MIR. Reber. Mr. Layton was
heavily interested In the Mecca Tire Com
pany. This company was established more
than year ago. having a manufacturing
establishment at Trenton, n. j.
The Mecca Tire Company was backed
by Philadelphlans, and by Mr. Layton,
especially. This company bought out the
business OF the Mecca Tire Society The
latter concern was doing business in a
small way, selling automobile tires. When
1t was reorganized. however. the manu-
facture of tires was started. The plant is
now closed.
Luck was on the side of at least two of
the customers of the firm While n reporter
talked to Mr.. Reber in his office the attor-
