; THE MARINE RECORD TO OO, OO o—a-TFH- ee dast night and sank in deep water four miles north of North Fox Island. Crew saved.” ‘This was dated at Cheboygan, Mich., and signed by Captain Robert Kerr, master and owner’ of the echooner Sunnyside. No -cuuses tor the misfortune are given except ‘the statemont that it was in the night, and ‘the inference, also, that it was thick weather. That it was the result of mismanagement is enot believed, so far as we know, by any in this port, and least of all as the fau't of Cap- ‘tain Kerr, who is one of the most careful -masters on these lakes, as evidenced by the fact that this is the first mishap of any kind whatever that has tallen to him, notwitn- standing the fact that he has sailed these waters for the last thirty years. Captain Kerr, about two yeara ago, purchased the Sunnyside of Thomas Axworthy for $18,000. She was insured in the ‘Thames and Mersey and Exchange, of New York, and the Union -of Philadelphia, for $5,000 in each. Her cargo, about 10,000 tons of ore, it is believed is insured in the Continental, of New York. The S. H. Foster isowned by S. H. Gilchrist, -of Vermillion. : CHICAGO.

The round trip from Buffalo was made in fifteen and a half days, 5,000 tons of coal being carried up and 185,- 000 bushels of corn brought down. This is unusually excellent work, and there is per- haps not another tow of the same tonnage which can equal it.

Captain Zealand and the engineer left the vessel about 10 o’clock after giving orders to put the fires out. ‘The fire broke out about halfan hour after. ‘The captain and engineer lost all their clothing except what they had on, and some of the crew had barely time to get ashore. ‘The boat had stopped at St. Catherines to get some repairs done to her engine. How the fire originated or in what spot is not known, but it wae somewhere in the stern near the engine or boiler. ‘The ship burned steadily until about 9 o’clock this morning, when, having burned to the water’s edge, she sank, The Glenfinlas measured 447 tons, was built at St. Catharines by Shickluna in 1851, and was then known as the Brantford.
