its crew Of 50 men in the worst
storm that has swept the lake
region in 80 years.
Four bodies, two encased in life
preservers bearing the lost ships
name, have been picked up by ships
off Kenosha, Wis.
None of the bodies has been
identified.
The motor ship Steel Chemist
picked up the first two bodies be.

ten miles offshore.
Coast guardsmen at Kenosha dis.
covered the other two bodies in

first ones were found.
The crew OF the United States

sighting a screen door, part of a
galley, a chair and a saxophone
case, all believed to be from the
Milwaukee.
A watch found on one of the
bodies had stopped at 8:35. The i'll.
fated ship left Milwaukee Tuesday
afternoon about o'clock for Grand
