                    Went ashore in a gale at Sheboygan, WI., on November
                  9th while on her way from Chicago to Green Bay for a
                  cargo of lumber. Capt. William Taberner, Marine Inspector 
                  of the Columbia Insurance Company, was sent to get her
                  afloat and, finally, on December 1st she was taken in
                  tow by the tug W. K. MUIR and started for Milwaukee
                  for repairs. Just before midnight the MAHONING began
                  to lurch and most of her crew escaped to the tug.
                  Another lurch or two and the MAHONING went to the
                  bottom carrying two men, Capt. Taberner and Golway,
                  the mate, with her.
