Captain Arthur Berk and
Crew Wait Many Hours to-
Be Rescued After En-
CINE Breaks Down.
REACHED MIL WAUKEE TODAY
Boat Had Been Disabled on Sunday
Afternoon and Members of the
Crew Were Forced to Endure
Hardships of Heavy Seas.

The ~Helen b. of Kenosha, the
daring little fruit boat, owned by Ar
thur Berk and sailed by him between
Kenosha, Milwaukee and Grand Haven,
Michigan, was reported safe in port
at Milwaukee this morning and the re-
pert which reached Kenosha Just af-
ter eight O'Clock came as a great re-
/ lief to the members of the family of
the daring mariner. The boat had been
adrift with disabled engine in mid
lake since last Sunday afternoons
Anxiety for the safety of Berk and the
two men who had made up the crew
of the Helen B because so strong on
Tuesday afternoon that call was sent
to all stations of the Coast Guard on
the west shore of the lake asking that
they make a search for the missing
boat. EARLY this morning tug which
had been sent out from Milwaukee,
located Berk and his boat. The boat
was drifting aimlessIy in mid-lake off
Kenosha. It was towed into the Mil
waukee Harbor just after seven o. clock
this mosnlAssssl4d i hatlt lS1f LAT Mrs
Berk who had waited all through the
night hoping for some word of the mis-
sing boat received the word from her
husband that he was safe in MiIwau-
kee.
The Helen B. left Grand Haven at
half past seven O'Clock Sunday morn
ing bound for Kenosha. She was
heavily laden with fruit from the
Michigan orchards and Captain Berk
had telegraphed his wife that he would
reach Kenosha some time late Sunday
afternoon.
When the Helen B. was ten miles Off
Milwaukee In mid-lake early Sunday
evening her engine became disabled.
Then came heavy lake storm on Sun
day night and Monday morning and
the men were exposed to great hard
ships. The heavy storm had practically
driven traffic from the lake and the lit
tie fruit boat sent calls for help in
vain. All day Monday Mrs. Berk wait
ed for some word from the missing
fruit boat and the crew and ON Tues
day she sought the aid of the coast,
guard. Messages were sent to every
port along the lake from Kenosha to-
Grand Haven early in the day but late
at night no word had been received
from the missing boat or crew. Last
night a special appeal was made to
search for the Helen B, and she was
located by one of the tugs which put
out from Milwaukee.
Captain Berk told none of the story
of the thrilling adventures of his crew
but simply said that they had been
drifting on the lake since Sunday af-
Iternoon. The Captain is known as one,
of the most daring sailors on the lake
and no weather had been found too
rough for him to weather and bring
the Helen B. into port The report
from Milwaukee indicates that the
cargo Of the boat was saved and it iss
expected that after repairs of the en-
CINE Captain Berk viii make his way
to Kenosha and reach the local harborl
either late this afternoon or tomorrow
morning. His anxious friends who
have been aiding in the search for the
missing boat promise to give him a,
great reception when he brings the
Helen B. into the home port again.
