PAUL E. PERKINS !.
DROWNED OFF CASCADE
Wireless Operator on Seow ..Limit'''
5:.= Fell Overheard And Was
Seen No More q 5z.ss$s3. $ss T.

Paul p. Perkins, wireless operator
on the scow Limit + !, fell overheard
last Thursday evening at 1880 O. clock.
The scow was loaded with gravel and
was enroutea for Duluth. There was
a Nhigh sea and a strong northeast
wind blowing, making the scow roll
considerable at times. When off Cas-
cade Emil Johnson, one Of the crew,
saw Perkins coming down the steps
from the wireless room, surposing
he went to get drink of water from
a cup at the rail, used in dipping
water from the lake for drinking, Mr..
johnson returned to the cabin. Short
ly af forwards the cook heard someone
hollar and at once a search was made
for the operator but he could not be
found aboard the scow. 1t is sup
posed that he went to the rail when
the -scow gave, a lurch, he probably
slipped and fell overheard.
o. They whistled for the tug to stop
and a. sharp lookout was kept for
some time but no trace was seen Of
him. The night being. very dark and
stormy they were unable to make
much of an effort in searching for
him. The tug and scow returned to
Grand Marais on account of the
rough sea and laid here until Friday
evening.
Mr.. Perkins was II years of age,
and according to information re-
ceived from members of the crew his
home was in Battle Creek, Mich.

COAST GUARD BOAT ON q q
ITS WAY 70 GRAND tnARAIsss
Submarine chaser to be Sent Here
From Great Lakes Station as
Protection FOR Fishermen.

From the Duluth Evening Herald,
October e. Representative Carss,
efforts to secure a patrol ship for
duty along the north shore Of Lake
Superior have been successful. Mr.
Carss today was notified by Capt.
Forley, commandanr Of the coast
guards, with whom he had taken the
matter up, that the coast guard had
secured a submarine chaser from the
navy and that it will be placed in
commission and probably will reach.

is now at the Great Lakes training
station, and is being. fitted up and
will leave the station Oct. 27. It is
estimated that it will take about two
days to get to Duluth or Grand Ma.
rails. -:. ..-
The plan is to recruit a crew for
the patrol vessel from among the:
fishermen along the north shore The.
reason for this is that she will be
laid up during the winter months:
The navy is short Of men and cannot
spare even the few that will be re-
quired to man this boat with a pros
pect Of their being idle during the
winter. The patrol ship will have it's.
headquarters at Grand Marais, and
will patrol the shore between Duluth
and Grand Marais. When navegation
closes she will be taken to Duluth for
the winter and will resume operation
in the spring. The vessel is of the
same type as that which participated
in the homecoming celebration at
Duluth.
