LAKE STEAMER IS
SUNK IN COLLISION
VESSEL GOES DOWN AND CAR
RES TWENTY-EIGHT MEN,
BEERS OF CREW TO BOTTOM
Following Collision There Was An EoS-
pIosion In Boiler Room of Doomed
Steamer, Those on Board HaV-
ing No Chance Of Escape

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.-The
steamer Superior was run down and
sunk by the freighter King late Fri.
day night, it has just been learned.
Twenty-eight members of the crew
and one woman were missing and the
four sur vivors brought here after be-
ing picked up from the wreckage had
all but abandoned hope for their es-
cape, owing to the short time that
elapsed between the collision and an
explosion in THE boiler room which
wrecked the stern of the steel ore car
rier.
Peter jacobson, a survivor, who
was at the wheel when his ship was
rammed, declared the King bore down
on them after the exchange of the
usual signs. The sea was calm and
the weather was rather hazy, but ne
could easily distinguish lights of the
King, he declared.
Captain Herman Nelson of the King,
however, maintained a fog enveloped
the vessels.
Belief that a number of the missing
were killed or severely injured by the
explosion, was expressed by Captain
Edward Sawyers of the Superior City.
The majority of them were in state
rooms directly over the boiler room,
he said. He attributed the sudden
sinking of his vessel to her heavy
cargo Of iron ore.
Il sank deep into the icy water" he
said, "and the shock brought me back
to my senses. thought would never
reach the surface. After swimming
five minutes, up from the depths came
a steamers hatch cover, upon which /
climbed and hung until picked up.
II guess God wanted me to live a bit
longer" he added, for where that
hatch came from / couldn't figure"
Despite the statement of Captain
Sawyer Of the Superior City that the
night was clear, Captain Herman Mel
son and members of the crew of the
Willis L. King, declared a heavy
fog hung over the lake at the time OF
the accident.

won them all except the Sanford Memorial at
Saratoga. IN that stake J. LOTUS got him practl-

meeting Man o. War beat Upset like breaking

Up to July 10 Man o. War had run five races
this year and had won them all-the preakness,

AS a 2-year-old he won $88,825. His victory In
