Marie. The tug has been stopped from going to the wreck as there is nothing to save. Captain C. E. Bennon says the insurance was $6,750. The cargo of lumber was insured for $12,500. The freight list was also insured. The Chicago schooner JOHN WESLEY went ashore twenty- five miles west of Marquette Monday afternoon. The crew came ashore without loss of life. The schooner is on a rocky beach and is likely to stay there. She was owned by Captain A. P. Read of Chicago, valued at $6,000 and is fully insured. The WESLEY was bound from Chicago to Portage Entry for a cargo of stone. There are but three feet of water around the stranded boat. The scow which the tug EDWARD FISKE lost off Granite Island Friday evening went ashore just above Little Presque Isle about 10 o'clock the same night. When twelve men on board found they were near land and firmly lodged on **** safe sand beach they turned in and went to sleep. About 8 o'clock Saturday morning they constructed a raft of boards and were just going ashore when Captain Cleary and the life saving crew arrived on the scene. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The L'Anse Sentinel Vol. XII, No. 46 Saturday, November 12, 1892 [extracts of marine news] Caught a Deer. The big tug D. L. HEBARD, assisted by a strong sea from the north which piled the water up along the shore beyond Little Presque Isle, succeeded yesterday in pull- ing off the scow which went ashore there in the great gale of Oct. 28th. loaded with supplies for Ready Bros., the Yellow Dog lumbermen. While bringing the scow down to this port a curious thing happened, something which in the opinion of the crew of the tug "breaks the record." When about half a mile outside of the breakwater at 4:30 in the afternoon they saw a deer swimming in the open lake and at once headed for him. The chase was a short one and could have only one conclusion. He was captured unhurt, taken from the water and brought into the harbor alive. What in the world that deer was trying to swim across Lake Superior for is a marvel. His pluck entitles him to his life if not his liberty and it is to be hoped that he will be placed somewhere and well cared for. - Mining Journal. Schooner MILBURN came in Monday to load lumber at Funke's dock. The SCHOOLCRAFT, NESTER, BOURKE and KEWEENAW came in Sunday to load lumber for lower ports. This is their last trip up here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The L'Anse Sentinel Vol. XII, No. 47 Saturday, November 19, 1892 [extracts of marine news] The Canadian schooner NEELON, which was driven on Manitou Island by the gale a week ago, has gone to pieces. She had a cargo of coal for Fort William. Her crew are safe at L'Anse. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The L'Anse Sentinel Vol. XII, No. 48 Saturday, November 26, 1892 [extracts of marine news] The steam barge D. W. RUST has been in port several days awaiting a new smoke stack. She is coal laden bound for Duluth, and was caught out in the recent gale when she lost her smoke stack and was otherwise badly used. She will prob- ably clear today or tomorrow. The steamer TAMPA lost her rudder off Keweenaw point during the recent gale, but managed to make the harbor at Pequaming in safety where she now lies waiting a new rudder, which was shipped from Bay City yesterday by special train and will probably arrive today. ===========================================================================
