She is believed to have met her fate suddenly and unexpectedly, as the China and Duluth,, which left Bayfield but an hour behind her over- the same route, have seen nothing of her. The company's agent has sent the tug Maytham in searchh of her. She was owned by Leopold & Austrian, of l Chicago. Eater—All Hlope Abandoned. Special Dispatch to The: Detroit Free Press. Hancock, November 21.—No doubt any longer exists regarding the mussing propeller Manistee. The tug Maytham, seuit out in search of her, returned last evening brringing a part of the texas , and a bucket branded "Manistee," picked up fifty miles north of Ontonagon. All hope of any of the crew being saved is abatndoned, and THE DIRECT CAUt'SE OF THE DISASTER Will ever remain a myystery. The Manistee left Bayfield daring a heavy>r southwest gale for Ontonagon, heavily loaded, on Thursday evening, November 15, at 8:40, which wras the LAST SIEEN OP HER. It is believed that af tear she got well out to sea her machinery broke dcown and she became unmanageable; or, finding the; sea.too rough after getting beyond the protection cof the Apostlo Islands, she attempted to return, amd in either case foundered. At Bayfield all Hancock: passengers were transferred to the propeller City off Duluth except seven, destined for Ontonogan, wlho remained on board. The crew consisted off thirty persons, making A TOTAL LOSS OF LIVES- OF THIRTY-SEVEN PERSONS. The officers of the Mainistee were as follows; Captain—Jno. McKay , of Cleveland. First Mate—Andrew .Mack. Clerk—Geo. S. Searom. Engineer—Q. Colton. Steward—F. N. Gibbee. Porter—Jno. Payne. Tugs from Bayfield aind Hancock were sent out to-day to continue the search aloug the north shore. The Manistee was owneed by Leopold & Austrian, cf Chicago, and fully nsuired.

Special Dispatch to The Detroit Free Press. Kincardine, November 21.—About 3:30 this afternoon a loud report like the discharge of a twenty-pounder was heard in town, and while the citizens were conjecturing the cause word was received that the tug Erie Belle, owned by Odette & Wherry, of Windsor, which arrived in port on Tuesday morning, to take off the beach the schooner Carter, HAD BLOWN UP, And that all hands were lost. Ou going to the scene of the disaster it was found that the boiler had exploded, and the vessel herself was wrecked, but fortunately the lives of eight of the crew of twelve had been saved. What caused the accident will never be known. It is supposed the pumps which supplied the boiler had become choked in some manner, and that tbe trouble was not noticed by the chief en gineer, who was in charge. The water got low, and when the pumps did force some into the boiler it had the same effect as SPARKS ON GUNPOWDER. The names of tbe crew on the tug when the explosion happened were as follows: Captain, John Tobin; mate, William IBbbin; first engineer, William Osgood; second engineer, Frank Eikenhurst; firemen, William Johnson and William Sayles; watchman, Daniel Finlayson; deck hands, Henry Pa cock, Frank Conroy, Isaac Drenshaw, Lewis Smith, and a cook, name unknown, formerly employed on the tug Hackett.

The following reply was sent: Chicago, Nov. 21, 8 a. m.—John Trelease, Hancock, Mieh.: The Maytham ought to have stuck to the search close to the north shore, especially when she found traces of wreckage. Vigorous search for the crew ought to have been kept up instead of returning. Have her start out again at once for that purpose. Also get Boutin's tug to assist. Leopold <fe .xUstbian. > IN THE GALES. The Manistee left Duluth for Ontonagon and Portage Lake Nov. 10, put into Bayfield, and laid there till Nov. I.r>. On that dav (Thursday) at 2 p. m. she left again on her wav to Ontonagon and Portage Lake. While In Bayfield Captain tl McKay wrote the following letter, which shows that her Portage passengers were transferred to the propeller Citv of Duluth, of the same line then also at Bayfield: THE LAST LETTER. Bayfield, Wis., Nov. 14.—We left Ashland on Sunday mording at li o'clock, and got down below Michigan Island when the wind struck us • from the northwest, and had to run back to this L place. Left Monday morning and came to an an-fi chor under one of the islands, and staid there mi- I . til this moraine, when came back here. ! seven passengers on board for Portage, who will be put on board the Citv of Duluth. J. McKay, Master propeller Manistee. THE THEORY. The theory is that the Manistee's steering gear gave out or her machinery became disabled when . between Apostle Islands and Ontonagon fan-other gale set in after she left Bavfiled), and that she drifted out into the lake before the southwest wind and sea and finally foundered. There has been hope that she made some nook on the north shore, or at least that the crew escaped in the small boats (of which she had four) and had been picked up by some passing craft. No tidings, however, have been received. MORE DISPATCHES TO LEOPOLD & AUSTRIAN, Leopold & Austrian received'the following despatches last evening: Port Arthur, Ont., Nov. 20.—Leopold <fr Austrian, Chicago: Have heard or seen nothing of Manistee on this shore.

The Manistee was thoroughly rebuilt in 1879, and her rating is A 2. Her value was $30,000* She had good machinery and safe boilers, and her officers were all good navigators. She had four small boats, one of them metalic. The cargo was bran, mill feed, oats, and flour, most all light stuff. She usually carried 500 tons of freight, and on this trip had only 335 tons on board. THE INSURANCE. The insurance on the steamer is as follows: JRtna Company of Hartford............... $5,000 New England Underwriters............... .2,500 British America of Toronto............... 2,500 Union of Philadelphia................___. 2,500 Continental Company..................... 2,500 Boston Marine of Boston.................. 2,500 Buffalo of Buffalo.......................... 2,500 up. Tbe insurance companies represented by Copt. -- Ward interested in the cargo of the 8 " zgerald yesterday settled up the loss. Lake Superior, forty-siix miles from Ontonagon, J| toward Isle Royal. Tluursday the Manistee was at Bayfield, and on that dtay Mr. Flynn received a tele- 4 gram saying that the wveather was still dreadfully | unpleasant. It is thought that she left Bayfield on |] that night for Ontonagon and was caught ouc in the | great southwestern gale The same night, and wtent to pieces. Mr. Flynn is of the opinion that the (crew made their escape in the small boats. The propeller was supplied with five comparatively new small boats, and any two wer? large enough to carry the whole crew of ££*¦ men. thte crew* 1 he crew consisted o>f: Captain—John McKay.

Mr. Flynn received information to the effect that she had NO PASSENGERS At the time, having transferred them to the propeller City of Duluth. The Bayfield tugs Maythem and Boutin are at present engaged in a search for the crew and traces of the missing propeller, with but little hopes of finding tthem. She was loaded with 400 tons of general nnerchandise for Ontonagon, Eagle River and Eagke Harbor, shipped by J. A. Austrian, of St. Paul. The cargo is insured. The Manistee is owned by W. B. Stone and J. B. Culver, of Duluth, and Austriasn, of Chicago, and is insured. A dispatch just received from the captain of the propeller Ontario, lying at Port Arthur, says he has SEEN NOTHING OP THE MANISTEE OR, CREW. Nearly all of the crew were married men. The captain, first mate amd engineer were residents of Buffalo. The clerk liwed near Chicago. Parts of the wreck have commenced to float ashore near Ontonagon, and at this hour alt. hopes for the saf'ety of the boat or crew arffl g:iven up. The propeller was onie of the oldest boats on the lakes and had several narrow escapes this season. She is valued at $15,00(0. The storm from the southwest is said to have tbeen the worst ever seen on Lake Superior. The Mlanistee was built in 18G6. The [ disaster throws a glooim over the entire city, but was not unexpected, ats something of the kind has been looked for for some years. A CREW OF NINETEEN.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 21.— Another dreadful [ ake disaster, whereby fifty lives have been lost, as probabably been added to the already heavy st of marine accidents this fall. Dispatches ¦om Hancock, Mich., state that the pro anistee, plying between that port and Duluth, inn., has without doubt gone down with all on ard. She left Bayfield last Thursday at mid- Ontonagon on her way to Hancock. Sho Ifad been weather-bound for four or five dai fart made two or three attempts to get to sea, but ¦d.<[ put back on account of the weather. A - End a half after she left Bayfield the steamers rnlinh and China followed on the same te, but neither of them discovered he Manistee. It was at first reported that she Ontonagon, where there is no telegraph tation, but two days ago the Dulutn put in that , port, and afterward reported that the Manistee bad not been there. It was only then t hat fears began to be entertained of her safety. Two tugs w.-re iii-iMi-'diately sentfin search of her.

The first part of the name on the board is broken off short. The board is nearly dry and is freshly broken. It is thought to be of the steamer Conestoga.

The board found on Lake Michigan with "estoga" fell from the name on tbe bow of the vessel, but the steamer herself The schooner Guido arrived, also the steamers^ now at this point in good condition, loading " with merchandise for Chicago. THE SLIGO OVERDUE. INQUIRIES IN REGARD TO HER. Anxious inquiries are made for the schooner Sligo, laden with building stone and bound for Weston and Sanford. The schooner G. W.

She lost one of the boards bearing hier name while on her way from Chicago.—En.] it, and a portion of the pilot he other found part of the canvas carried by the steamer. The boat was,old, was heavily loaded, and there beiiig a heavy Bea.there.is but little doubt but (hut she i'o!:i-der.'"'d. The Manistee was owned by the Leopold & Austrian Line, which has an : this city. At the oiVice the opinion luctantlyexpressed to a Wisconsin reporter this : Lhal ths Manistee had sunk. It was learned thai John McKay, one of the oldest and bd»i captains on the lake, commanded the steamer, and thai George 1. Se'aton was clerk and 1. -ulleu engineer. Besides these two officers tncre were two mates, two cooks, two or three-' waiters, one fireman, and fifteen deck hands on the steamer, making a total of about twenty-five, . besides the twenty-five passengers which the : steamer is known to have carried. If all on board ; are lost, as is quite likely, the loss of human life by this single disaster is greater than in all the other disasters on the great lakes this fall. The Manistee was originally built by E. M Peck, of , , Cleveland, for the Engleman line. Her measure-¦ raent was 513 tons. She plied between tbis port and Manistee-and Grand Haven for a number of .years. In 1871 she was length- j ^ ened and repaired at Detroit. Captain ' ¦¦ Humphrey, at present Harbor Master in this citv, ' sailed her a wlrile when she was running to the east shore. Four years or so ago she was pUr- \ chased by Leopold ,t Austrian and was rebuilt at I Manitowoc. A year biter she was. taken to Chi-1 cago, where at Miller's clock she received new j concave sides. She was then sent to do duty on i Lake Superior. The vessel was rated at A 2*2 and was valued at $22,000 and was insured for J {pzO, 000. Clieboygan Nctts. Special Dispatch to The Detroit Free Press.
