In his younger days Tom Austin served in the British navy, and, as he advanced in years, he advanced in grade. Tiring of the service, he entered the merchant marine, and, we believe, became master. About fifteen years ago he came to the lakes, and his ability soon secured for him a captain's berth. For many years he has been in the employ of Ensign, of Buffalo, and he died intthat gentleman's employ. Austin was an able navigator, and a genial, whole-souled fellow- He was about 5S years of ago, hale and hearty, and his sudden death is a painful surprise to his many friends.

This proves that lake carriers have not laid away a very great amount of money this year, notwithstanding the activity of business. The fact is, the lake fleet is too large for the amount of freight now offering, and until the amount of freight increases (which, however, it is likely to do temporarily next year), there will be little permanent improvement. But the time will never again return when rich harvests may bo gathered from a 26-eent freight, as in 1861. or even a 19-cent rate, as in 1865. Increased capacity of vessels, the more general use of steam, the introduction of the barge-system. and the competition of the railways, will keep rates more uniform in the future.—Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.

A man named Peter Smith, of Chicago, took the place of one of the above seamen just as the vessel was leaving port, but which is not ktiown. There is still some hope, for at least the crew of the Bruce—or some of them. The insurance people are endeavoring to learn if there was any collision. Private dispatches say that "the impression is that the Bruce is sunk off Thunder Bay Island." That impression obtains here,too,but in the absence of positive information it goes for nothiner.

Narrow Escape from Foundering—The Captain Swept Overboard and Drowned. | We are compelled this morning to announce [another terrible encounter with the elements rWtside.and the drowning of an old navigator and ¦gallant sailor. •¦ The steamship C. J. Kershaw arrived in Chicago last evening with a cargo of 1,330 tons of 'coal from Erie. Her under officers have bad news, which is that the Captain, W. O. Harrison, was swept overboard and lost during a southwester in Saginaw Bay on Sunday night. Mr. A. W. Cooper, the second mate, reports that ¦ about 10:30 o'clock on the right men-; tioned, the wind blowing a terrific gale, the steamer shipped a tremendous sea, , broadside, which washed the hatches off. half-lilled the cabin and engine-room, nearly putting \ the furnace fires out, and carried away all the ' boats. The cargo was shifted, and the steamer waliowed so long in the trough of the sea that all feared that she would founder. The docks were covered with ice, making movements about by the crew impossible for the time being, and it was not until the storm had abated in a measure that the captain was missed. He was on deck when the steamer was struck, as his voice was heard a few minutes previous, and was without doubt carried overboard with the great wave. As soon as he was missed, search was made about the steamer, the crew thinking that perhaps he had, fallen through one of the hatches or bee jammed in somewhere on deck. All searcl: proved of no avail, however. It required five men at the wheel during the} storm. AU the members of the crew with whom! our reporter talked last night regarded the escape1] of the Kershaw and all hands as exceedingly nar- ^*fhe Kershaw met with trouble before her encounter with the storm on the bay, and the loss of her master. Shortly after getting oat on Lake Erie, she blew out a soft plug of her cylinder-head, and had to return to Cleveland for repairs. and at 3 o'clock on Saturday morning she went on the beach at South au Pelee, and remained | there for three hours. After getting off there, she got on Chickaiuna reef, and was on for two hours, but did not sustain any damage. Captain Harrison had sailed for many years onj the lakes. For a long time he was in the employ] of P. J. Ralph, of Detroit, having command of the| propeller Mayflower and other craft. He was master of the schooner Hurd when she foundered off the South Manitou several years ago and was the only survivor. He was well known! and highly regarded. He leaves a wife and twoT sons, one of 16 years and another an infant. His| place of residence was Detroit. 'XlV'tteVwasTeVeVved'at Detroit on Monday Jfrom Captain Morlev, of the steambarge D. W.

To the Editor of The turner Ocean .1 It is intimated that an effort will be made to'.ox-pi.tin away any marks foftnd on the propellor Hurd by claiming that she had a collision Witl a dock here at Manitowoc. This is all well enough. but people on both sides can investigate. There are taw sides—even, outside of people interested in their pockets in the Magellan or her cargo—as those poor grief-stricken vtomen and children who lost husband and father. The efforts to confuse the circumstances of the disaster, directed from Chicago, but being made directly from Manitowoc, cannot possibly be successful. Leopold & Austrian deny that the Hurd had any collision at all. Very good. The captain of the Hurd wiil also doubtless deny he had any collision. Let us see how it wiil turn out. it is a pity if the captain of the Hurd that afternoon saw tne name "Magellan" on a piece of wreck that he did not report it on the occasion of his putting in here instead of saying to Leopold & Austrian's agents here that he passed through the debris of some unknown wreck. By the way, when the Hurd sustained no damage, and in the absence of a report from the captain, how do Leopold & Austrian know whether the propeller had a collision outside or not? Doesn't their hasty denial indicate a disposition to deny the collision, whether or no? Depend upon it, some of the crew of the propeller that* ran into the- Magellan will toll the story sooner or later. Though tew of them f probably saw it—if anyone did—they all doubtless felt it. W. Manitowoc, Wis., Nov. 19.—A telegram from Hamilton, Ont., stages that M. O'Brien, of that place, was one of the crew of the Magellan, aad that he had a large heart tattooed on one hand.

It was insured in the /Etna, St. Paul, and a Canadian company. NO WOMAN COOK. The dispatches speak of the effects of a woman cook coming ashore. The Magellan carried a man cook, and the report only strengthens the belief that two vessels were lost between Two Eivers and Manitowoc. WHAT THE DISPATCHES SAY. Special Teleeram to Tne Inter Ocean.' Manitowoc, Wis., Nov. 10.—Your correspondent visited the body of the sailor found last night, and learned that the description g.ivcn_was not exactly correct, as his ago is not over 35 or 38. and hair not gray, as stated. On his person was found an envelope addressed "H. P. Larson, Sailors' Home. Glasgow," also $75, which was rolled up in a paper and not discovered till this morning. Two more bodies were found this morning, both of dark complexion—one a middle-aged man with heavy black beard; the other rather young, with black mustache and small chin whisker. The bodies being frozen, no inquest can be held at present. There are undoubtedly more bodies not yet recovered, as none of these are dressed in captain's garb. It is impossible to give defi-itely the name of the foundered vessel. Some say it is the Magellan, and others claim it to be the Mi'an, or some other vessel. It is again asserted by old vessel captains that a collision is the cause of the disaster, and that another vessel has suffered the same fate. V.

To the Editor of The Inter Ocean.I The ship New Era, recently arrived, is a remarkable ship, both in her build and history. Her timbers are bent in one stick from the keel to the rail. Some of hor-futtocks are forty-two feet long. Every stick in her hull requiring to be crooked was bent by machinery. She was built in East Boston in 1869-70, by John W. Griffiths, the inventor of timber-bending machinery. The New Era has been beaten for the first time on the last voyage. She had always before beaten the entire fleet of vessels sailing .in company, but the winds weto very light this time, and sh 144 days from Shanghai, China, She on 1,300 tons of sugar, besides tea. mattihtg other cargo, making up 2,400 measurement tons nearly, on a draft of 10'^ feet. Her registered tonnage is 1,026 tohs—about the size of our largest lake schooners. She has carried 1,550 tons of dead-weight cargo several times on the longest voyages, and has never yet leaked more in' gales of wind than at other times, and. in fact, she lias never leaked at sen. She now shows no signs of weaknes strain anywhere, notwithstanding she has been for seven years and a half carrying dead weight cargoes one way, and sometimes both—salt, coal. wheat, ice, sugar in bags, etc. She is already chartered to Bombay with oil. but goes on the dock to be coppered before loading. While on the dock she will be visited by the insurance in-rs far and near. She has had less repairs than anv vessel of her age, so far as known. She bns the preference for cargoes among wooden ships in cv'vy port where she has ever been, and always insures at the very lowest rates. The construction of the Now Era was by many i an experiment. Perhaps no so-called experimen t in shipbuilding has been so successful as that, of bending the timbers of ships in whole lengths, by which there are very few butts in the frames. It is this doing away with butts which gives such great strength to'carry cargo and stamd driving under sail. ________ A Shipwright, MANITOWOC. Something; Further of ihe Magellan—Repair*— Tlie Minnie and Tow at New Orleans—A Tug Wanted, Etc., Etc, Correspondence of The Inter OceanJ Manitowoc, Wis., Nov. 36,1877. Messrs. Hanson and Scove, of Two Bivers, are now busily engaged in securing the rigging and gear of the wreck Magellan. Yesterday, I am i informed by Mr. Benson, of Two Rivers, they 1 succeeded in raising the forerigging and found ontangled therein portions of a human body, consisting of a left leg. having on a Diece of pants of dark color, and a coarse boot; also, a hand and part of arm, all crashed, and a portion of the top of a head, with light curly hair. It is supposed to De a part of the seaman. M. O'Briau, of Hamilton, Ont., who was one of the crew of the ill-fated crart. It is thought here that the above is sufficient proof that she foundered by a collision, as the body of Captain Belyea and the sailor Carey were also strong proof to that effect. The former was minus the right leg, etc., while the latter had his arm broke and face crushed. The body of Jesse Belyea was without coat, vest, or boots on. showing that he must have been off watch and was in bed when the accident occurred, or otherwise he would have been on deck dressed in his heavy oil-skfn clothes, the same as* the other bodies found (who were probably on their watch), if there was any danger of any kind threatening the vessel. As it is', the sinking of the Magellan remains a dark and horrible mystery. The scow Sandy Morrison was launched at Rand & Berger's yard, after completing repairs. and loft for Menominee. Mich., with a load of sunplies. Said scow is not a model of beauty. The old scow Laurel is being hauled out! at Butler's ship-yard, where she will receive a thorough rebuild the coming winter. Private dispatches sent hero state that the tug Minnie and schooners Geo. Oscar and Ben Jones. which left here for New Orleans on Oct. 23, have arrived at New Orleans. The departure of the Minnie has left this nort without a tu^. while Two Rivers has three—the Bertha Endren, M, A. Gflgnon, and the " Black Maria." The schooner iEtna is still in dry dock completing repairs, after which the J. and A. Stronach is to be the next occupant. The schooner Lottie Cooper is expected in from Alpena with a cargo of lumber. After discharging her load she will go into winter quarters at Two Rivers. The schooner Wonder, of Manistee, is taking a full .load of supplies for that place, and the schooner Eliza will take a load to Frankfort. Mich. 0. B. BUFFALO. Vindication of the Policy of tow Tolls.
