Manistee, Nov. 9. - The little schooner ABBIE, bound from Beaver Island to Milwaukee, with a cargo of bark, ran aground just north of Portage Lake piers yesterday. The Manistee life savers hurried to the rescue on a special train and a gasoline launch towed them to the wreck. The vessel was submerged with the exception of the cabin, on which were crouched three of the crew nearly wore out by their struggles to save themselves. The remaining member of the crew had saved himself by swimming ashore.
