                   Bound Bay City, MI., to Duluth with salt. Was
                 found to be leaking near Au Sable. There were
                 no heavy seas or winds and GOSHAWK had recently
                 undergone extensive repairs. The pumps were not
                 keeping up with the rising water and the decision
                 was made to turn around and head for Tawas. The
                 captain and crew abandoned GOSHAWK about three
                 miles from shore when it became obvious they 
                 could not make the shore.
