. . . . .
The steamer HURON, when on her recent passage down from Saginaw to this port, struck on a reef of rocks at Port Austin, and shortly after sunk in about ten feet of water. She had been into the above place, and in attempting to back out again swung around again on the reef, as before stated. Capt. Cole succeeded in running her near enough shore to protect her from further harm. The tug BRUCE left yesterday with a steam pump to go to her assistance. ---- Detroit Free Press
