HAD THRILLING EXPERIENCE

James Mullin, of Kingston, who had a narrow escape a few days ago, when the Annabelle Wilson went down about half a mile off Point Gratiot in Lake Erie, has arrived back in the city. Capt. "Barney" McIntyre and wife lost their lives. Mullin, with two other members of the crew, were saved.

Mullin says that he had a most thrilling experience. He has been up against many mishaps in his career on the water, but this was the worst disaster he was ever in.

Albert Blundell, whose home is in Port Robinson, was with Mullin and when the barge began to sink they took to the rigging, and remained there until taken off by the crew of the tug Meteor, which had her in tow.
