Could this flour regurgitated by the disintergrating process. of stress and strain of bottom cur- rents on the sunken ship, come to the surface, cross Lake Huron, and wash ashore on the beach at Inver- huron on the Bruce Peninsula? Would survivors in the two missing life boats of the DANIEL J. MORRELL have been picked up if a search had been made eastward across. the lake in- stead of in the logical down- wind direction? Conveniently for the question, the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests in its Research Report No. 35, Currents and Water Masses of Lake Huron, has provided consider- able information. This report recaps the informat- ion of three synoptic cruises which collected data from 263 stations on Lake Huron. Graphs, replete with arrows, indicate surface currents. Comparison of the surveys results in the following conclusions: "... here it was moving at 0.10 mph and was indicated to entrain water from the south side of Saginaw Bay. This water crossed Station 32 and Stat- ion 38, turned briefly southeast MAY - JUNE Page 99 and then flowed northeastward along the shore of the Bruce Peninsula at about 0.10 mph. Water emerging from the south side of the mouth of Sag- inaw Bay apparently contributed to the cross-lake flow reaching the Bruce Peninsula." The ALBANY carrying a _ cargo of Star and Crescent Mills flour sank off Pointe aux Barques, which is the south lip of the mouth of Sag- inaw Bay. The DANIEL J. MORRELL broke up in the identical position where the ALBANY slipped beneath the waves. Government sponsered synoptic surveys indicted lake water crosses Lake Huron from Sag- inaw Bay and laves the _ beaches of the Bruce Peninsula. The body of Saverio Grippe Crossed the _ lake, borne by this current, in twelve days. Therefore we cannot be accused of brazen, impudent boldness for ree porting things so fabulous and in- credible when we finally assume that the fancily decorated star and crescent bags of flour purchased by 'Skipper' McKinnon at Inverhuron in 1915 were from the ill-fated ALBANY which sank in 1893.
