                   Went missing enroute from Milwaukee to Sand Bay. On
                April 11th a strong nor'easter swept across Lake Michigan
                leaving several vessels wrecked at Milwaukee. It was feared
                that the small schooner was overtaken by it out on the
                lake. The captain's wife was reportedly aboard along with a
                crew of 4.
