The steamer QUEEN CITY passed South Manitou about 1 o'clock Sunday morning,
when three vessels were ashore on the south side, one of them abandoned, two of them
were loaded with lumber. It is probable one of these is the schooner RICHARD MOTT
of the Lake Navigation Company, as she was reported ashore there by the propeller
ORIENTAL. The captain of the MOTT spoke the captain of the ORIENTAL, and said
he could get his vessel off by lightening her deck load (lumber), and the schooner
OCONTO, which passed them Sunday morning, saw no vessel out.
