                    Left Ashland, WI., loaded with iron ore and, even
                  though there was barely a ripple on the water, sprung
                  a leak that the pumps were unable to keep up with. The
                  captain made a run for Michigan Island, 25 miles distant,
                  but the MARQUETTE went down about 5 miles out. The crew
                  escaped in her two small boats.
