Chicago, Dec. 1. - Still another big steel steamer was added to the list of the wrecks in the great storm of Tuesday when telegrams reached the underwriter today that the WESTERN STAR was on the beach 16 miles east of Ontonagon on Lake Superior.
The WESTERN STAR was bound light for Fort William to load a cargo of wheat, when she was landed on the sandy shores of the south side of Lake Superior.
The vessel does not appear to be greatly damaged. The wrecked boat is owned by M.J. Cummings of Oswego, N. Y. She is in command of Capt. Patrick Griffin.
