                Bound for Chatham, Ont., with lumber and shingles she
             became waterlogged and capsized during a gale 20 miles
             north of Point aux Barques.  The crew took to the life boat
             and, blown by the gale, landed three miles north of Goderich
             the next day.  They were followed across the lake by the
             overturned hulk of the Azov, which grounded near Port Elgin
             and broke up.
