The Belle Wilson is still ashore at Oswego. It is doubtful if she will be got off this fall. A severe storm at Toledo has prevented the Glengarry and consort from loading coal for Kingston. The barges Bolivia and Buell are still ashore at Oswego. The Buell is so fast that she will have to be left there until] the spring. The Bolivia will be released in a few days. | will be their last trip. ‘in the big blow at, Hast Tawas, sunk in ten EAST SAGINAW. Special to the Marine Record. The barges McDougall and Buckhout that were on the shore at East Tawas recently, have arrived in port and have stripped for the season, as have also the barges S mi- nole, J. E. Sparrow and several others. The barges T, K. Jackson and R. Bots- ford are in port with full cargoes of coal for Morley, Ewen & Co. They will winter here. { The propeller Porter Chamberlain and consorts, Ida Corning, A, T. Bliss, and T.H. Cahoon are in port, loading for Ohio, which _ There has been quite an inquiry for barges, with but fewchartere. One shipper says he has 1,500,000 feet to go to Ohio, but it is doubtful it he gets it off this fall, ~ The barge Star of the North, which w feet of water. She is loaded with coal, and will be pumped ont at once and brought to this city. It is said she is not hurt in the least, having rested on a good bottom. She is owned in this city by S. V. Haskell, J. P. Goldie and Captain Nagle, her master, and was thoroughly rebuilt this summer. The Boom Co.,’s tugs all weat into winter quarters Wednesday. A dispatch from Alpena announces the safe arrival of thetug Nat Stickney, which was thought to have been lost in the recent gale. She was sheltered at Cove Island, The large steamer building by James Davidson at West Buy City will be provided with hoisting engines from the well-known firm of Bartlett & Co., of this city. The steamer W. R, Burt is being stripped and put in shape tor winter, Captain Thomas Faulks has again gone to Chicago for his health, The steamer C, P. Fish was in the slings tora new wheel of Bartlett & Co.’s make, The friends of Captain Chas. Sonsmith will. be pleased to learn that the veteran skipper will hereafter take entire charge of his hotel in this city, the Anchor House. A. ©. McLean has ordered all of his boats into winter quarters, _ The mail line, on the F. & R. M. boats, between Ludington, Manistee, and Milwau- kee, has been discontinued. ‘The boats are now running as regularly as wind and wave permit, and bave all. they can possibly do, ‘One boat a week goes to Chicago with salt. Captain Armstrong’s fine steamer Plow Boy is putting in the compound engine, re- cently built for her at A. F. Bartlett & Co.’s dock. The barge Star of the North has arrived in the river from ‘Tawas, where her captain, John Nagle, when he saw his danger of go- ing ashore, ran her into Emery’s slip, where she filled and sank in ten feet of water, thereby saving her from going to pieces. She was pumped out by Captain Armstrong’s fire tug James Hay and put into the Bay City drydock. With the exception of a tew seams opening she is as good agsever. She will be thoroughly overhauled, however, and will come out to-morrow and lay up at this port, none the worse for her experi- ence. The ferry Handy Boy, which with the Charles Lee comprises the fire tug line and is commanded by Captain John Dawson, has done good service at a number of fires this season and has been the means of sav- ing considerable property. The boat and crew did excellent work at the time of the burning of Jerome’s and Bliss Bros.’ mills, the fire at Zilwaukee when several buildings were destroyed, extinguished a fire in the Power block on the 7th inst., saved the tug Tom Dowling from total destruction last week, the same night steamed to the scene of the flouring mill fire at Bay City, was en- gaged ai the lumber fires of Laderach Bros.’ and Smith & Moore’s mills, West Bay City, Miller & Lewis’ drill house, South Bay City, the Michigan Central railroad dock at West Bay City, and the burning of the L. G. Ma- son at the same place. SHaw. MARQUETTE. Information has been received that during the gale of the 18th the lighthouse at the end ‘Whe Marine Reconi. 5. BAY CITY. Special to the Marine Record. The recent big blow did considerable damage to small craft in the Saginaw river, the water at one time going down nearly seven feet below low water mark, leaving a nuwber of craft on the bottom, some of which rested on logs, ete., springing them and causing a leak. Barges lying alongside the docks rested on the bottom. ‘The river line steamer Lucile, drawing only seven feet ot water, got aground near Crow island, and after working several hours gave it up, but was pulled off by a tug the nextday. A number of barges arrived in the river Satur- day, in tow of the tug James Hay from East Tawas, all looking rather the worse for hard weather, Considerable ice is making, and all who come in think it is about time to “ay up. The steamer Westover was left high and dry on the bottom at Rifle river by the water receding. The tug C. W. Liken went to her rescue, and while she was pulling on the Westover, wide open, parted and recoiled with terrific force, strik- ing David Wilcox, manager of the boom, who was standing on the poop deck of the tug, in the face, knocking him senseless. His face is badly cut from the sharp ice that was frozen to the rope. Mr. Wilcox is very thankful for his miraculous escape from death, On Monday night last the room of Engi- neer John McLouth, of the propeller Glas- gow, was visited by a thief, who took a coat, pair of pants, shirt and other wearing ap- parel, together with a bank book with an account of $200, the property of Mr. Me- Louth. The value of the property taken was $50. Suspicion pointed to a deck hand named John Scanlon, who was arrested while endeavoring to dispose of some ot the property in a second hand store. The steamer Arundel will make two more trips to shore points and then lay up for the season, : Wo. K. Vanderbilt and party from New York, in the private car Wm. H, Vander- bilt, were in the city Wednesday, looking over the M.C. R. R. business at this port. The steamship C. H. Green and consorts, Mattie C. Bell and Rosa Sonsmith comprise one of the finest fleets that sail the lakes. They arestaunch and seaworthy and ably manned. On their last trip down they had alively time. Shortly after leaving Ash- land, they encountered a terrible gale. The tow line connecting the Green and Sonsmith broke, when it was found necessary to let go the Bell immediately. All three boats separated. They were ore laden and rolled heavily, and at one time it was feared all would be lost, but after two days they sailed into shelter at White Fish Point, and were pieked up by the Green, not much the worse for their experience, which speaks well for their respective commanders, SHaw. MUSKEGON, The schooner L. J. Conway had been dis- covered on the beach seven mile3 north of Whitehall, The vessel was a complete wreck, and the crew missing. The Conway was a small two-masted schooner that has been engaged in the Lake Michigan lumber trade for the last thirteen years, and left Chicago last Tuesday afternoon just before the gale set in. She had a cargo ot corn and oats, consigned to Hendersons & Peterson, of Muskegon, who also own an interest in the vessel. Her crew numbered five men, including Captain Thomas Smith, her mas- ter and her managing owner. The latter was about thirty years of age, and. leaves a wife and four small children in destitute circumstances at Muskegon. A Norwegian, known as Jimmy, was mate. Captain McGraw, master and owner of the schooner Eliza, was also aboard of the Conway. Just before leaving port Captain Smith went aboard of the Eliza and procured a piece of plank, saying that his centerboard box was leaking badly and he wanted to patch it, He also remarked that he was short handed, and asked Captain MeGraw to make a trip with him. Captain McGraw left his own ves- sel in charge of his father and brother and of the breakwater at Marquette, Mich., was j went. He was twenty-five years of age and carried away. The keeper has been in- structed to keep a light as near the end of the breakwater as possible. SAULT STE. MARIE, The schooner Minnehaha, bound up, went ashore at Detour and will require consider- able lightering before she can be released. Assistance has gone to her. The schooner Minnehaha, aground at Detour, was released Monday after lighter- ing 200 tons of coal. The steambarge Spokane, bound down, ran aground in the Middle Ground above the canal. She has lightered several scow loads of ore with no effect thus far. All up-bound craft of Mon- day are weather-bound in the canal. Wind blowing a gale from the southeast, with snow. the tow line} resided at Sheboygan. The vessel was valued at $3,000 and the cargo at $2;000. There was no insuiance on either. Captauy Smith is reported to have had $460 in his pocket when he left Chicago, TOLEDO. The gale of last Thursday lowered the wat- er in the river at Toledo eight feet. This is said to be the lowest the water has been at that port this season except October 14, As a result of the low water nearly all the ves- sels in the harbor were bard aground, The lumber laden barge George Kelly was aground just above the Cherry street bridge. The steambarge Otego, lying atthe Ohio Central, was high and dry. The propeller Hopkins was fast on the bottom, and the propeller Gault hard aground in the bay. BUFFALO, Special to the Marine Record. The record of the past week in marine cir- cles will make it memorable as the most dis- astrous to shipping for many years. Itissad to read the accounts of the hardships and loss of life which come to us daily from all direc- tions, and there are still other missing yes- sels to be heard from which may swell the list of those who perished in the late gales. There was a succession of them day after day, for two or three days, with but little diminution in their velocity. The fiercest part appeared to have passed over Lakes Michigan and Superior; at least vessels on those lakes seem to have suffered most. T. Fitzpatrick is here, but ‘Vas not fully decided whether he will send the George T. Hope up again. If he does not, she goes to Bay City, where considerable repairs are to be made according to a contract when pur- chased, Deputy Marshall Donahue auctioned o fi \ the steamer Ff, BE. Spinner. There was a good attendence of vessel men and bidding was spirited. Captain 8. A. Murphy finally got her at $35,200 for the Lake Transit line of Chicago. He says she will not be placed in commission this fall, but will pass the winter here, The libels filed against her aggregate a little over $30,000. ‘The seamen’s union raised wages to $4.50 per day, twenty-five for up trip to Detroit or Toledo, twenty to Cleveland. Maytham’s tugs succeeded in releasing Hingston & Woods’s scow from the shore at Hudson street and towed her to Mills’s dry- dock. She is not thought to bein very bad shape. : The propeller Ohio is out of drydock and will load coal at once for Chicago. The new steel steamship Susquehanna left at neon Tuesday for Chicago on her maiden trip. was intended that she should make a retur: trip. She carried with her Jas. Todd, mas- ter; Geo. Graser, first mate; John Fletcher, es second mate; Wm. Wise, chief engineer; Wm. Woods, late of the Japan, steward; Captain Learmouth, chief engineer of the Anchor Line. She passed the breakwater — at 12:15 noon and atonce plunged intoa thick fog that had come up after she had She had on 2,000 tons coal and three ~ or four hundred tons package freight. It % completed preparations to sail, Her retarn to Buffalo this season will depend on her time up and the amount of cargo for her in Chicago. Deputy Marshall Donahue auctioned off the steamer F. E. Spinner. There was a good attendence of vesse] men and bidding was spirited. Captain S. A. Murphy finally got her at $35,200 for the Lake Transit line of Chicago, . He says she will pass the win- ter here. The libels filed against her aggre- gate a little over $30,000. The seamen’s union raised wages to $4.50 per day, twenty-five for up trip to Detour or Toledo, twenty to Cleveland. Maytham’s tugs succeeded in releasing Hingston & Wood’s scow from the shore at Hudson street and towed her to Mills’s dry- dock. She is not thought to be in very bad shape. The propeller Ohio is out of drydock and will load coal at once for Chicago. There is a large fleet of tonnage taken for up loads of coal, which is being loaded slowly, on account of the scarcity of coal. The Ohio’s repairs were quite extensive; new forefoot, new frames and new pocket piece, and several new planks anda new piece of keel and garboard strake. Quite a number of vessels are being strip- ped and will winter here; among them is the steambarge D. W. Powers, barge Winona, Charles Foster, and all the Lake Superior boats in port and to arrive. Coal freights are steady at $1.50 to Lake Michigan, but cval is scarce. WM. CHEBOYGAN. The schooner Bissel is still on Green Bay reef. The tug Leviathan is working at her. She is not damaged at present. The Leviathan will release the schooner Marsh from Graham’s shoals, Part of her cargo has been taken off to float her. She has gus- tained no damage. The Winslow has gone to release the schooner Sheldon, near Oscoda. The schooner Houghton, for the safety of which some anxiety was felt, left bere with her fleet all right. The schooner Elgin, cast off by the propeller New York during Thursday’s storm and reported missing, is at Sailor’s Encampment, loading lumber. She lay off this shore Wednesday and when the wind shifted Thursday headed across the; lake for Detour. ASHTABULA, Ed Wick of this city, was one of the sea- men who perished in the schooner Lucerne, Mr. Wick was a promising young man, and his loss will be deeply felt by his many friends, Considerable anxiety is felt here by people who have friends on board the Mont fleet, and propeller Fairbank, - a . d |
