                    Bound from St. Ignace to Chicago with a load of
                 iron ore when she sprang a leak and began taking on
                 water so rapidly that the pumps couldn't keep up. The
                 crew abandoned her in the small boats and succeeded
                 in making Glen Haven, MI.
                    The JARVIS had been in a collision with the 
                 schooner E. P. ROYCE about three weeks before off
                 Skillagalee. There was no apparent damage to the LORD
                 as she took the much damaged schooner in tow and left
                 her at Milwaukee.
