wy AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF LIZZIE MADDEN FROM CAPT. HAMILTON'S NOTES (See "Ships That Never Die" P. 4) The fall of 1905 the LIZZIE MADDEN with the schooner barge DELAWARE in tow, passed upbound from Tonawanda to load limestone at Kelleys Island for the Cuttler Lime Kilns at Duluth, dropped the DELAWARE off at the south dock, she, herself, going around to the north dock to load and, af=- ter being loaded, proceeded into Sandusky for fuel. It was about 10 pem. when she headed back to pick up the DELAWARE. The Stone Coe always kept a white light on the end of the south dock for a leading mark in making the dock. This night the dock watchman got drunk and forgot to put the light out. Henry Kelley, the assistant superintendent of the Stone Co., lived about two city blocks east of the stone dock. He had a new gasoline reading light showing a bright white light out of the south bay windowe Capte Ralph Pringle, mistaking the above light for €6he one on the stone dock, put her hard aground about 200 feet to the westward of the main steamboat dock. The next morning the quarry people sent about 50 workmen from the south quarry aboard her to lighten her by throwing some of the stone over the side to help free her. By 9 aem. the Huron harbor tug KUNKLE BROTHERS arrived and started to pull on her. She pulled all day but could not budge the MADDEN. ‘The sidewheel steamer ARROW came along on her regular run, Sandusky and the Islands, about 4:30 pem.e Putting a short line on the MADDEN close up so the wash of her sidewheels wouldlift, she had the MADDEN afloat in about 15 minutes. The MADDEN backed out and was found to be leaking quite a bit. She went into the south dock with the KUNKLE BROTHERS standing by. Pringle telegraphed Bay City for orders, which came the next morning, ordering him to Cleveland to unload and arrange- ments were made to drydock her for bottom survey. The damage proved quite extensive. Due to a strike at the shipyard, she was delayed quite some time. “hen she got back to the Island for another load of stone and to pick up the DELAWARE, the barge was nearly frozen in solid. It was concluded to leave the barge where she was and lay the MADDEN up at San- dusky. The same watchman that forgot to put the light out got the job of keeping ship and cutting the ice around her, and that was a cold winter. Makes you wonder, don't it? William J.
