                   Bound Kelley's Island to Cleveland with stone when
                caught in a northwest gale.  Her cargo of stone shifted
                suddenly as she approached the Cleveland breakwater. She
                swamped and sank so quickly that Capt. Haskins had only
                enough time to blow two whistles as she was going down. The
                crew, 6 men and 1 woman, were rescued from the water by the
                tug FRANK W.
