Kelley, pump engineer, went down with the schooner Arab at 4:30 Sunday morning, about twenty-five miles off Racine. One fireman was lost here, name unknown. The wind shifted to the north at about 6:30 o'clock, and has blown a gale since, with occasional snow squalls. The crew of the tug were assisted ashore by the St. Joe life-saving crew and citizens here. THE CLARK DISASTER. TKRBIBLE EXPERIENCE OF THE CBJEW*. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. Harbob Springs, Mich., Nov. 13.—The schooner Lucy J. Clark, which went ashore at Cross Village Friday, Nov. 2, was released by the tug 8. S. Coe, of MQwaukee, Sunday morning. At the time the wind was blowing a gale from the southwest, which raised the water two feet. Sail was made on the schooner, and, with four men heaving on the anchor, the tug had no difficulty in getting her off. The Coe attempted to tow her to Sturgeon Bay, but the schooner's steering apparatus was out of gear, she got into the trough of the sea and became unmanageable. All this time they had the steam pump at work on the vessel. When they saw the vessel would not follow the tug, they attempted to pull her back to the dock, but the sea being mountains high and sweeping clear over the tng, she let go the schooner, which then dropped anchor, and the tug came to the dock here, reaching it with difficulty. The steam pump became loosened from the vessel, and was soon out of running order. The sea washed her deckload of wood off, and she SOON FILLED WITH WATER. The captain ordered a signal of distress put up, which was done by the first mate, but no one could do anything for them. Soon after the flag was put up the captain ordered the small boat lowered. Five men got into it. The men were in several minutes before the mate got in, and then the captain. The last man to leave her was an engineer-—a man named Moody, of Milwaukee, who came here on the tug to take charge of the steam pump. Mr. Moody, in getting into the boat, fell overboard. He was caught by one of the sailors, who held him by the collar, but lost his hold. Moody sank, and on coming to the surface was again caught by the sailor, and, assisted by the captain, he was hoisted into the boat. At. this moment, the vessel capsized, ana, the line being cut, the small boat, with eight men in it, was at the mercy of the waves. The captain placed bis men in the boat, so it would better ride the waves. When about twenty-five rods from shore, however, THE YAWIj ROIiED OVER, throwing all into the water. The boat rolled over three times. The mate, Alike Rodden, of Chicago, never reached the boat again. Captain Johnson got on the bottom of the boat with the engineer and two men. Three of the men could not reach the boat, and started to swim for the shore. Two of them reached it. The cook, a young man named Eugene Ordway, of Chicago, was seen standing in the water waist deep. One of the men who reached the shore spoke to him asking him how he was getting along. He said nothing but smiled, and the undertow took him back into the lake, and he was lost. The boat rolled over, again washing the four off. The captain came up underneath. I jetting go, he managed to get hold of the keel again. Engineer Moody was a good swimmer, but could not get to the boat again, and went down. The other two men let go the boat, and were washed ashore. The captain clung to the boat and reached the ; i shore more dead than alive. Thus out of a crew I of eight, five reached the shore. pitiable: GONDrnOK. They had to be helped to reach Cross Village, only one man being able to walk. None of the three bodies have washed ashore, as the sea is so large the undertow keeps them out. The vessel is still at anchor, and pieces are washing ashore. She had 230 cords of wood on, bound for Chicago. She was a large vessel, 20 years old, and insured for $9,000. Captain Johnson reached Harbor Springs to- . r>I lung. Through the kind- 1 ¦¦¦¦<.. of i Lie «Irani! Uapids ! Lowa Railroad, who furnished free trans- ; bortation by rail, he and the other survivors will ; reach Chicago to-morrow evening. Ashtabula had reached a point about, fifteen miles below Milwaukee Sunday noon, but she was unable to make any headway in the heavy gale, and it was decided to run for Milwaukee. When coming about, it was discovered that the vessel was leaking badly, and as soon as possible her pumps were manned, but the water gained on them steadily. About an hour after the vessel came about her foresail was carried away, i ind she was run with her mainsail and staysail. In two nours after the leak in the vessel hud /been discovered, she had filled, and had a bad list to porr. Her signal was set for a tug, but being several miles off the piers, the crew doubled if the vessel would float, and the small boat was lowered and a man placed in it. Five minutes after the yawl was lowered, the Ashtabula rolled over; the men romaining on board had a narrow escape from going to the bottom with the vessel, which began to sink after capsizing.' The captain was the last to leave the vessel. Hardly had the yawl left the vessel when the latter wentto the bottom. She straight -ened up as she went down, and aftei ¦ ¦ ¦ the bottom her topmasts were aboal fo ir above the surface of the water. The men in the yawl made every effort to keep her head into the sea, but were unable to make any headway, the sea dashing over them, arid the boat was drirtini I tug Hawley w towing her to a place of safety :. she broke loose and started up the river, running] | into the barge Victor, carrying away the foremaa head of the Victor, and starting that vessel up the river.

All her Grand Haven, Mich., Nov/. 13.—The schooner Clara Parker, owned by Jolun Llndgren, of Chicago, loaded with grain for Collingwood, left Chicago Saturday afternoon. Sine sprung aleak on Sunday forenoon off Sheboygan, and with great difficulty kept afloat until Monday night, when, seeing she was sinking, Captain Lewis ran her on j the beach, ten miles south of here. At 5 o'clock this morning she was discovtered (at daylight) by boys looking for wreckage;. Word was telegraphed to the Grand Haven Life-saving Station, and the life-saving apparatus was carried there by teams, reaching the place at 11 a. m.

Pokt Hueox, Mich, Nov. 18.—There have-been many fears of the safety of the barge Mer-rimac, to beamship Escanaba, from Chicago to Port Huron, with 70,000 bushels of grain. The Escanaba broke from the Mcrrimac fifteen miles from Point an Barques, with the wind blowing a gale from the northwest, blowing hard- The Escanaba made Sand Beach last night with five feet of water in her.
