The tug WILLIAMS brought in a large barge with a cargo of about 500 logs, from Ludington, on Thursday night, for Wells & Co. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Joseph Herald Saturday, September 29, 1888 [extracts of marine news] A heavy fog on Monday night and the pier bell tolled for some time. The last section of the equinoctial came along this week, delaying boats and making the weather generally disagreeable. The fishing tug ARTIE WARD was slightly disabled in her machinery while coming in from her fishing grounds Tuesday. The SWEET BROS., also coming in about the same time, towed the WARD into port. The government supply steamer DAHLIA was in port Tuesday. Several sail and steam craft made this port for shelter from the heavy sea the middle of this week. The LORA came over from Chicago through the heavy sea on Wednesday night. It was terribly rough but she made the trip all right - as she always does. ==========================================================================
