OUTHWAITE DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Sheboygan, Nov. 29. - The steamer J.H. OUTHWAITE and schooner MARY MITCHELL which was in tow, ran ashore on Point Sable, the steering gear of the steamer having broken. Later the OUTHWAITE caught fire and was totally destroyed. The two boats were loaded with iron ore and were bound from Escanaba to Ohio ports. It is believed the MITCHELL can be released, and tugs have been sent to her assistance. The OUTHWAITE was a wooden steamer of 1304 tons, built in 1886, and was owned by W.C. Richardson of Cleveland. She was valued at $45,000.
