                   Newspaper accounts vary on exactly when the ELIZA,
                light, cleared Chicago bound for Milwaukee. Somewhere
                between these two ports the small schooner "went missing."
                There were reports of the spars of a sunken vessel lying
                off Racine but the identity was not confirmed.
