The OAKLAND is an old boat, rebuilt some years ago from the hull of the old steamboat MISSOURI, which used to carry coal from Erie to Buffalo and lay sunk in Erie Basin 21 years. She was loaded with 360,000 ft. of lumber, from Bay City for Erie.
Collector Stafford telegraphed to the PERRY at Ashtabula to go to the relief of the vessel. Nothing has yet been heard of her, and the worst is feared. [extracted part of article]
