                   Had recently been sold to Syracuse Sand Company and,
                after minor repairs and several inspections, was on her way
                to the new owners dock in Buffalo when she simply vanished.
                The weather had been clear and fine with little wind. Hopes
                for her safety were dashed with the discovery of a lifeboat
                containing the frozen body of one of the CORNELL's crew,
                Michael Paytosh, by the tug Q. A. GILLMORE. Air and sea
                search efforts for the missing tug were abandoned on
                December 29th.
