Owego (Propeller), aground, 30 May 1900

ON NORTH MANITOU.
      Good Harbor, Mich., May 30. -- The steamer OWEGO, of the Erie Railway Line, went ashore at the head of North Manitou Island at 8 o'clock today. The steamer was bound down Lake Michigan and was going at a fair rate of speed when she stranded. Her forward compartment is full of water. The wind has been light from the northwest since the steamer fetched up and she has not been damaged by the weather. The OWEGO left Chicago Tuesday bound for Buffalo. Her cargo consisted of 3,440 barrels of flour, 50,000 bushels of corn and a lot of meal, feed, rice, syrup, vinegar, rubber, besides 1,200 bars of bullion. The cargo is valued at about $50,000. The OWEGO is of steel of the most substantial construction and with favorable weather can be easily saved.
