Steamer and crew of 20 may be storm victims.

Detroit Mich. Dec. 8.-- Two vessels ashore and one steamer missing is the record for Lake Superior in the latest gale.

While seeking shelter at Apostle Island, the big steel steamer R. L. Ireland struck on the rocks.

The wooden steamer Golspie is ashore at Brule bay at the northeastern end of the lake.

Fears are entertained for the wooden steamer Sidney C, McLouth, no word having been received since she left Fort William Monday night. There is a possibility of its being sheltered at Michipicoten island.

The little wooden steamer Lake Michigan reached Port Huron late Friday night. Its barge Wawanosh, broke away in Lake Huron and went ashore near Oscoda, and for two days the Lake Michigan disappeared. It found shelter at Charity Islands, at the entrance to Saginaw Bay.

Grave anxiety is felt for the safety of the McLouth, and its crew of about 20 persons, half of them from Marine City. The boat is commanded by Capt. H.M. Shackett of that port.

Loaded with 88,000 bushels of wheat the McLouth left Fort William at 11 o’clock Monday night bound for Buffalo.
