Port Washington, Wis., April 30. - In the height of a gale on Lake Michigan last night a capsized schooner was sighted several miles out in the lake off this port. Some of the crew could be seen to make signals of distress.
The sea was running so high that tugs were unable to venture out and it is feared that the vessel has gone down with all on board.
