                    Bound from Duluth to Buffalo with wheat when she
                  ran into a westerly gale after entering Lake Erie.
                  Making bad weather of it the captain decided to
                  turn her around and let her lay at anchor with her
                  head to the wind, but the effort gave little relief
                  and the crew left the sinking vessel in two yawls.
                  The yawl with the captain was picked up near the
                  harbor. The other was found on the 17th by the
                  steamer G. J. GRAMMER, floating upside down with
                  no sign of the crew.
