WAS BOUND FOR WASH
BURN WITH COAL CARGO
Ship Said to be Badly Damaged
and 1t Will be Necessary to
Tighten Cargo to Save
Vessel.

The Steamer Thomas Wilson,
bound for Washburn with cargo Of
5000 tons of soft coal, is fast on
the rocks at Gull Island of the
Apostle groupe, having gone aground
during a dense fog which hung over
Lake Superior Sunday.
The bow of the ship was complete
ly wreched when it struck the rocks
on the island, and cne side of the
vessel was badly shattered. The
damage is estimated at 100000. All
members of the crew are safe.
Immediately after the Wilson
struck lifeboats were lowered and
proceeded to Michigan island, half
mile distant, for assistance. From
Michigan island the men proceeded
to bayfield,. Wrecking outfits from
the Twin Ports have been summoned
to salvage the Wilson.
The dense fog which gathered
about FIVE o'clock Sunday and last
ed until Monday morning, coupled
with the fact that Gull Island is
without fog horn or danger signal
is blamed for the collision. Gull
Island is little more than mass Of
sharp crags and rocks.
Other Accidents There
Gull Island has been the scene of
two other accidents of nearly iden-
tical nature within the last Is years.
The Robert M. Ireland and William
E. Corey, the latter the flag ship of
the steel trust fleet, were both dash
ed against its rocks and damaged to
the extent of several hundreds Of
thousands of dollars.
The Wilson is an 5000 ton lake
carrier and is owned by the Wilson
Transportation company of Cleve-
land. 1t was named after Captain
Thomas Wilson, we'll known lake
captain, who, after sailing the lakes
for a number Of years, retired and
organized the transportation COM
pany. She has crew Of thirty
men. Daniel Buie is the captain.
No Lighthouse
The wrecking Of the Wilson recalls
a law passed by congress Is years
ago, to erect light house on Gull
Island. Lake captains at that
time, recognizing the danger of
the rocky shoals, circulated petit
ton. which was signed by the Ash
land Chamber of Commerce, asking
for a light house. Congress ac-
quiesed, and passed law allowing
construction of light house not to
cost oYer 100000. It was never
built
II there is any chance of saving
the Wilson it will first be necessary
to tighten the cargo before the craft
can be released from the rocks on
which it is fast.
