It is the Devereux’ first trip to Duluth. Close to her came the City of Rome, towing the schooner Red Wing.

Special to Marine Record The barge Buckeye State, owned by Rust & Company, and under the command of Sr igihars Henry Balfour, arrived at the com- pany’s mill on Wednesday morning last and commenced loading. About 11:30 a belay- ing pin fell overboard, and Jobn Bernier, a sailor, informed the maie that he would go — - The officer told’ him not to mind it, as they could go in the — | yawl in a little while and secure it, but Ber- + nier persisted, and making fast the end of a © rope, went down over the side of the vessel — He was unable to — climb to the deck with it, however, and — called to the mate, Oliver Levoir, to help — over the side and get it. and reached the pin. him. Levoir got over the side of the vessel and slid down the rope which not being strong enough to hold them both, parted, letting them in the river. Neither of the men could swim, and Bernier sank to the bottom and nevercameup, The mate came up twice and as he was going down the third time, a young man climbed over the side, and hanging to the broken rope, held his foot for the drowning man to catch hold of, which he did, with his teeth, and hung on until a ladder was put down and he was rescued. After two hours’ dragging, the body of Bernier was recovered.

Wheeler’s new passenger propeller Ossifrage was launched at his yard on the 11th in the presence of a large assemblage.
