Detroit, Dec. 13. -- A Port Huron despatch says:-- The steambarge TECUMSEH, from Midland, with lumber, due at Windsor last Wednesday reached here today. Fears have been entertained that she was lost. She left Midland December 4th and reached Tobermory at noon on the 6th. On Wednesday she went to Cove Island and secured the rigging and one anchor of the schooner TECUMSEH, and with Captain Cook and crew returned to Tobermory. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning she tried to reach the schooner again, but was prevented by blinding wind and snowstorms. She left on Monday, the 11 th and arrived out of fuel, her lumber cargo looking like a snow mountain. She will leave for Windsor with Captain Cook and part of the crew of the schooner TECUMSEH. Two of the crew started to walk from Tobermory to Marton, [ Wiarton] 52 miles, being afraid the steambarge would not get through.
