CHATEAUPARAD|S
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Incendiarism Theory Probed

Buffalo Coast Guardsmen today res
cued nine men from the former Ship

which went on the rocks off Morgans

Canadian shore, during a snowstorm

The Lake Grogan left Port Col

was raging in tow of a tug bound for

GrOgan dropped anchor and the tug
put back into Port Colborne. The
anchor failed 10 hold, and the old YES

A freighter, believed to be an in
bound grain carrier, ran upon the
rocks near Martins Point, about 35
miles up Lake Erie, last night and to-
day was still hard aground, with the
lifesa wing crew in power boat stand
ing by.
The ship apparently lost her bear
ings in the heavy snowstorm that
swept the lower end Of Lake Erie.
The assumption that the freighter
was inbound was based on the report
that she lay low in the water, indicat-
ing a heavy cargo. All the ships clear
ing late yesterday from Buffalo went
up light.
Because of the storm persons living
near Martins Point could not identify
