The wind was northwest again yesterday, blowing hard, and the weather was cold. The sea outside was yery heavy and ice made on vessels rapidly. Craft arriving were completely encased in ice, and three inches of snow on their decks indicated that the weather was indeed wintry. Last night it was even colder than during the day, and the prospect seemed to be for a Bpeedy close of navigation. Vessel-owners and underwriters are much surprised at the early Betting in of such desperate weather. The direction and the velocity of the wind per hour and the range of the thermometer at the various lake ports at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as given by the Signal Service, were as follows: Wind.

CRAFT ICED UP. The principal arrivals here during the day were the propellers Chicago, Montana and Clarion, and the steamships Tacoraa and Harry C. Packer, from below, and the little schooner Adventure from Lake Huron. These are the first arrivals from Lake Erie for several days. The steamships Palmer and Fay, and the barge Bhodes came in light from Milwaukee. All report stormy, cold, tedious trips. The ice and snow on the Tacoma, Parker, and others completely hid the color of their paint. The propeller Chicago glistened all over, the ice extending even to her pilot-house windows, a height of thirty-five feet above the fcurface of the water. STOKM NOTES. XEWS FROM "VARIOUS VESSELS. Captain Martin Blackburn arrived home yesterday. The Inter Ocean has fully covered the Protection matter, and there is little to add. Mr. Comiskey attempted to save Captain Kelley, and narrowly escaped being lost himself. Mr. Comiskey says that when the two crews were on board the Protection, and the Akeiey picked her up, he heard Captain Blackburn yell to Captain Btrech: "Steer for the west shore." But Captain Strech answered; "No, no. I will take you to the Manitou*." If the Akeiey had made for the west shore at that time she certainly would not have foundered. The master of the schooner "Watertown, ashore at Elk Kapicis, telegraphed to the underwriters here yesterday asking if he should strip the vessel. Tlie schooner Kitty Grant, which left Chicago Monday, must have made the east shore. She did not return here. The tugmen report a schooner at anchor all day yesterday southeast of Chicago harbor. She was still ihcre at dark last night. Captain Hayes* friends are happy. The Argonaut is safe. It is feared the schooner sunk on Lake Erie is the schooner Ryan. The friends of Captain Conner, of the Skylark, will not believp she is lost with all hands until something more deiinite is received. The shingles and wreckage reported at Platte River, north of Frankfort, may be from the H. D. Moore. Among the wreckage is a vessel's rudder. Fifty craft were stranded in the recent storms. The losses are immense. His numerous friends are confident that "Clubfoot Sam," the master of the Merrimac, and his crew are all safe; "that the vessel is safe, too. The harbor tugs Flossie Thielck and Butler have gone into winter quarters. The schooner Waleski went through a terrible ordeal, but finally made Milwaukee in safety. It was supposed she had foundered. The wind forty miles an hour on the east shore yesterday was not at all favorable for the stranded tug Protection. The H. D. Moore is insured for $-1,000 in Crosby & Dimick's agency. Captain Johnson, of the lost schooner Lucy J., Clark entered protest yesterday. Young Knapp, of Racine, was in the city yes-' terday. He goes to the J. I. Case. The Akeiey was very deeply loaded. The H- E. Parker came in yesterday with snow on her decks three inches deer* The wreck report of the lost schooner Ketchum- was filed at tlie Custom House .yesterday. The| vessel is valued at $5,000; cargo, $700. f The schooner J. I. Case is owned by F. M.|j Knapp and J. I. Case, of Racine. Mr. Knapp'* interest is insured for $10,000. She was built* ten years ago, at a cost Of about $00,000. Mr| ¦¦ interest is not insured. The Schuylkill did not arrive with the ClarlonJ Inquiries for the schooner J. B. Penfleld eon-f tinue. It is feared she is lost on Lake Erie. « ALONG- LAKE MIC3HIGAN. STURGEON BAY—THE' BAiRBARIAN. Special Telegram to The Inter Oceaan.

There was ice two and one-hall' inches thick at Menominee yesterday morning. There are a great many vessels outride in the "blizzard" and there is a great deal of anxiety concerning their welfare. The schooners Onward and Rainbow lie up at Racine and the Two Fannies at Kenosha. WTLD HAVOC. It is likely that this last northwester will make total wrecks of most o£ the stranded vessels, including the J. I. Case, Clara Parker, Elizabeth Jones, Guiding Star, and so on. [Dispatches received late lafft night say the thermometer in the far West rainges from 15 to 40 degrees below.

THE MAXWELL'S NARROW ESCAPE—A 8PESCTA0LE. The schooner Emily B- Maxwell, grain loaded, and overloaded, which left here on Weulnesday afternoon, did not founder, but sine had a most narrow escape. She put back, ;::,nd was brought into the harbor before daylight yesterday morning. Her hull and decks are eompleitely encased in ice. Only the shape of the anchoir stocks can be seen. She is one mess of ice forwaird. and is down by the head fully one foot. Her foresail is coated fully half way up, and her rigging glistens almost to the mastheads. The crrew report a terrible experience. She had reached a point abreast of Sheboygan when compielled to put about. > OTHER SUFFERERS. The vessel at anchor southeast of the harbor all day Thursday and all Thursday night proves to have been the schooner Horace Badger, light and bound out. A tug went to her early yesterday morning and brought, her into the harbor. She Is heavily iced up and is a sister spectacle to the Maxwell. Another schooner, at anchor still farther south, was picked up by a South Chicago tug and towed in there. She was also light, and probably from Chicago, but her name could not ue ascertained. The schooner R. P. Mason, light, was found at anchor off the Marine Hospital, and was towed back here. WALLED IN. The schooner Rainbow, dropped by the tug Tom Brown, came back into Chicago. The Brown lipid on to the Onward and got her into Kenoshn. When the tug arrived at the dock in Kenosha Captain Sweeney found himself "walled up" in the pilot-house by ice. The doors could not be opened, and to get on deck he had to crawl out of the back window. AN ICEBERG. Craft coming along the west shore report looking at the schooner Elizabeth. Jones, on Racine Reef, with the glass. The vessel is iced all over, and far up into the rigging, and presents a sight suggestive of most rigorous weather. She would make an excellent study for an artist. There is no longer any hope of saving vessel or cargo. Similar reports come from the wrecked schooners Guiding Star, Lincoln Ball, Clara Parker, J. I. Case, Potomac, and others. STILL GOING. The wind changed to southwest yesterday (the weather continuing cold), and the schooner Joseph Paige and most of the fleet which ran back left again. The Ottawa, Racine, Badger, Lyman Davis, Pilot, Transfer, and C. O. I). were still here last night. [Also the Maxwell. 1 A dispatch from Mr. Kirby, the owner, ordered the Transfer and C. O. D. to remain in port, as the eca on the east shore was very heavy. , ANOTHER OVERLOADED VESSEL. Among the vessels departing yesterday vras the Bchooner H. C. Winslow, with grain. She is overloaded for this season, being decks to. and if she does not meet with Jdisasterj it will be one of the wonders. The steamship Palmer, towing the schooners Ogarita and Emma L. Coyne, all grain loaded, left during the day. Also the schooners Lady McDonald and John Kelderhouse, with grain. The steambarge William Edwards arrived late last night, apparently in good shape; bur without her consort, the Golden Age. The tug Favorite also arrived last night from Green Bay ¦with her consorts in tow, all having safely weathered the aale. The steamer Muskegon, Captain Dorsey, left for Manitowoc, where she ¦will lay up for the winter. The iron steamship Onoko departed last night bound for Sarnia with 95,248 bushels of corn aboard, 60,000 bushels of which is destined for Livemonl__________________ WET GRAIN. ™^ The steamships Oceanica, Inter Ocean, andC.fi J. Kershaw left Chicago within a day or two, grain ? loaded, One of them is reported in distress on the east shore. GENERAL AVERAGES FOR THE UNDERWRITERS. Beside craft which have been lost, it is certain that about every grain cargo afloat during the recent and present storms will be more or less damaged by the vessels leaking. The underwriters may look for a large crop of general averages. The steamship Clyde, from Chicago, has had a violent shaking up. .She got back into Milwaukee for fuel. The steamship Argonaut is safe, but she went through a terrible experience. These two craft left Chicago with the Akelev. turned up safely and her crew are all safe and :j well. The tug sent out found her at anchor with her canvas all blown away and towed her to Port Huron, arriving yesterday. She has 70,000 bufehejg of grain on board. Whether the cargo is damaged js not learned. A dispatch receiver! here by O. W.' Potter, Esq., of the North Chicago Roiling Mill Company, the owners of the vessel, conveys the welcome news of her safety. South Chicago, Nov. 1G.—A dispatch was received here to-day from Port Huron by Mr. J. W. | Farnsworth. stating that the Merrimac has arrived safe in port and his son Willie is all right. I. During the recent lake storms great anxiety was felt for the boy's safety, |ls he was a passenger on the supposed lost vessel. i THE RESCUE OF I THE. MERRIMAC. A HEROIC ACt. Special Telegram to The Inter Ooe.m. Port Huron, Mich., Nov. 16.—The rescue of the barge Merrimac by the tug Torrent, which arrived at S o'clock, is one of the best efforts of Captain Chris Moore's life. He left here Wednesday night at 10 o'clock and found the barge fifteen miles off the Canada shore and four miles north of Kincardine. The crew of the Merrimac were In a pitable state, not having had a meal or slept any since Sunday morning. They were used up. Upon arriving here the Captain of the Merri-;. mac fainted three times from weakness. His crew also deserve the nighest praise. On Monday the vessel shifted her cargo so that the rails were under water, and again the] same thing happened. Both times all handsj trimmed the vessel back. Some of the men gave up when the tug hove in sight. A hawser was passed from the tug to the vessel, and after five hours' work her tables were slipped and they started for the west shore. When off Port au Barques the vessel again shifted her cargo and all lights went out oh both the vessel and tug. tf The vessel was leaking while in the seas and ail? hands were at the pumps for ten hours until they ' got under the land below Sand Beach. She ar-1 rived and will go under the elevator to-morrow. '.', Her captain and crew miade a protest '-at noon and think thiere is some g wet grain in her. To-niight the captain % DESOLATE HOMES.

The Mockingbird has been unable to get out of that port. EEABINE CTKCXES IN MOTHOTINO. THE DIEE RESULTS OF THE GALES. During the late succession of storms on the lakes, sixty craft have been stranded or have foundered, and the sacrifice of life, so far as learned, has been fifty-seven. Death and desolation have come into numerous homes, and a general gloom pervades marine circles. There is Btill great anxiety for vessels unheard from and this will continue for several days, yet until craft that have survived can come out from their anchorage and make their appearance at the various ports. The widows and orphans cif drowned men are encountered at the tug offices, the Custom House, and the telegraph office—wherever newe is to be obtained—and their grief excites pity on every hand. Marine circles are indeed in mourning. The losses to the underwriters are very heavy. Many of the stranded vessels will doubtless be rescued, but the losses will be great nevertheless. To-day wrecking expeditions will leave all the principal ports on the lake, and there will be a demand for steam pumps, which cannot be nearly supplied. The tugs will all be busy. Lieutenant Newcomb, inspector of the life-Baving in this district, is on the east shore looking after the service. He was at Satigatuck on Friday and Saturday. Superintendent Bobbins is also about, where he is most needed. These officials have cause for the greatest pride Sn thefr department. Every life crew on Lake Michigan did good work and distinguished them-eelyes. GLAD TIDINGS. MORE VESSELS HEARD FROM. The propeller Champlain arrived in Chicago from thw Straits at 1:30 o'clock this morning. She was at the South Manitou for shelter. Two of the crew of the lost schooner Lucy J.

Dan and Dave Miller, of the schooner Driver, who rescued the twelve men of the foundered steamship Akeiey in the terrible storm on Lake Michigan, consider themselves unjustly treated in the published accouuts of the disaster. Yesterday the Miller brothers broke over their rule of silence in regard to the affair, and Mr. Dan Miller made the following concise statement of the disaster: ""We left Chicago Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock, with the wind southwest. At 12:30 o'clock we made land at Holland, and sighted the steamer ahead. At first we thought it was a vessel. I went up in the rigging, and said to my brother it was the steamer Akeiey. I said: 'Good God, Dave! she is fouudering!' We bore down on the wreck, and sighted a small boat with twelve men in her. We three times tried to pick them up, but couldn't on account of the high sea. I called for a volunteer to man the lower boat. A young fellow we called Paddy--I never knew any other name for him- offered to go, ] bid my brother good bye: we got into our small boat and started for the other. We pulled down toward them, and then dropped toward them stern first. We picked three men out of their boat into ours; to lighten her up: then gave them aline and pulled to wind ward as far as possible, till the schooner came up on the other tzck, when we got them on board. Then our boat capsized, and myself and Paddy climbed up on tlie schooner by the boat-tackie fails. All of the twelve men were saved. I went below and changed my clothes. Then I came on deck, and we put a single reef in the mainsail and bore away for Chicago. I never knew there was a second mate on board." "The statement that Poulson, the second mate, makes," said Dave Miller, "that he was the hist man to leave the boat, is not so. He was the first. "Poulson says he wanted the Driver to go back and look for the others on the lat't. This is a misstatement. No such request was made to me or my brother. We sailed through the wreck three times, and if there had been anyone there we should have seen theru. When we left there it was so dark we could see nothing. W'e were in the vicinity over two hours and a half." Mr. Poulson's stcry, in view of the facts, seems rather unjust., especially in view of the- brave efforts and servu-e?« of the Miller Brothers. , "WHAT POtJLSOX SAYft. r- Tac-tf in Jftftar wrfffmtrtVinjfrtaeUgit of Pnni**-'- statement, however. What Poulson said was that he was the last man to leave the Akeiey, not the last man to leave the Akcley's small boat, and Captain Miller was not in a position to know who was the last man to leave the Akeiey, she having foundered before the Driver came up. Mr. Poulson feels the kindest toward Captain Miller and maintains that his statement was not intended to, and did not, reflect discreditably upon him. He (Poulson) was only, he says, reciting a fact; that he suggested that Captain Strech and the others might be afloat on rafts, and Can-tain Miller said the Driver had been over the ground three times, and that if there were any of them afloat she would have seen them. UNJUST REFLECTIONS ON THE OWNERS. Some unjust reflections have been cast on the owners of the Akeiey. The twelve survivors of the disaster, who arc here in Chicago, have small : sums of money due them from the Akeiey. The men are out of funds and need money, and they complain because they have not been paid. This 1 is no fault of the owners, however. The latter are scouring the east shore for any other survivors there might be on rafts or anv bodies coming on the beach, aud have not had time as yet to settle up the accounts of the lost steamer. Men are patroling the beach for miles north and south of where the Akeiey went down. THAT BODY AT SAUGATUCK. A dispatch from Sangatuck of Thursday said: "The body of a man dressed in a neat navy-blue suit, having a life preserver on, washed ashore here this afternoon. It was taken where it was supposed to be safe, and other persons notified, who, when they arrived, found that a large wave had again carried it out into the lake. It is being looked for. It is thought that it is the body of Captain Strech, of the Akeiey." Other advices say the color had not left the face cf this body when found, and that the limbs were not stiff. If this be true, life was not extinct and resuscitation was possible. The evident carelessness in taking care of the body was, to say the least, most criminal. Chief Engineer Driscoll, Second Mate Poulson, and others of the survivors who are in Chicago, s*iy the body, from, the description—sandv chin whiskers, etc.—was that of the first mate, Mr. Kingston, and not that of Captain Strech. Mr. Kingston wore a blue flannel suit, and was the only man on board who was so attired. SBTFTrXG OP GRAIN CARGOES, To the Editor of The Inter Ocean. Chicago, Nov. 16.—Will yon kindly insert in your marine news, for the information of captains of lake vessels and steamboats, the following: The steamship Akeiey foundered in Lake Michigan. After my thirty years' experience in seafaring life, I find that in bulk cargoes of grain they must be well trimmed. From all reports it was not so with the Akeiey, and the cargo shifted. If the trimmer is not accountable, who is? A Sailor. The above is probably written by some enemy of the boss grain-trimmer, whose men trimmed the Akeiey, and not by "a sailor" or navigator at all. Shifting boards are the only tolerably sure preventive of the shifting of a cargo in such fearful straits as the Akeiey was in when her steering gear gave out. The great point for regret in connection with the Akeiey is that her canvas, could not be used to steady her. EOBTDES PICKED UP. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. Saugatuce, Mich., Nov. lti.— The body of a man about 5 feet 6 inches high was found on the beach here this morning. There was nothing on his person by which he could be identified. He was dressed in blue denim pants, overalls, jacket, and had a heavy short overcoat on. On his feet were shoes not much worn. He had short brown hair; had been shaved about Sunday last probably. Justice Gill took charge of tlie remains. In his Jockets were found a cob pipe, a pocket handkerchief, a teaspoon, and a lemon; also several kernels of corn. He appeared to be about 'SO years old; weight about 160 pounds. , He was pock-marked slightly, and looked like a Dane. The body of another man was found" this after- I noon, which proved to be that of John Kingston, ' mate of the Akeiey. Justice Pond took charge of j the remains. In his pockets were found an old -t two-bladed jack-knife, a pocketbook containing $40, and some tobacco. On the little finger of his left hand is a plain gold ring. | On the right arm the words "Jn, Kingston. 1858, Port Colborne." making his identity csrtain. Two bodies were also found several miles down : the lake. Justice Bell, who has charge of the : remains, could give no description of the men other than that one was young and the other rather old. Further particulars have not come to hand, though your reporter expects them sopn. The upper works of the tug Protection were washed off during the night, which makes her look rather bad. She is also badly iced. The steamer J. S. Seaverns arrived here at 5:30 p.m., after a ten-hour ran across the lake. The -lake was quite rough. The steamer Douglas may leave this evening, and may hold off until morning. Wind this evening south of southwest, and , is Quite fresh. BODTA T ST- JOSEPH. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean.
