                   Went missing while enroute from Port Dalhousie to
                Sorel, Quebec. There was speculation that she was in "a
                leaky condition" when she left port and, inf fact she had
                not been officially inspected for two years. The BARNES
                left Port Dalhousie on Monday night and there were heavy
                gales on the lake Tuesday. Her wrecked pilot house was
                found off shore near Oswego. The body of Capt. LaRush was
                recovered near Picton.
                
                  Built on the bottom of the J. C. OSGOOD.
