The e those who will remember the destructive gales which occurred in the years 1835, 1839, and in October, 1844, during which periods the loss of life and property | spread wide desolation throughout the en- tire chain of lakes, On Friday the propeller Nyack, which had been unfortunate on her recent trip to | Lake Superior, reached Detroit in tow ot the After being placed in dock it was found that every | near at hand. | the season’s business and will | ter quarters, beside some damage to her‘shoe.

Jewett, which strand- edatew days since near Sand Beach, ar- rived here on Saturday, and as soon ag a portion of her cargo is lightered she will also go into dock for overhauling.

The schooner Gypsy, 131 tons burden and valued at $7,000, is ashore at Bailey’s Har- bor, and the schooner China a total wreck in Georgian Bay. She is a Canadian craft of | 314 tons, built in 1863, and valued at 9,000. ‘The schooner O. M. Bond discharged coal here on Friday and the A. H.
