                   The Selden E. Marvin and Annie M. Peterson were loaded
                 with lumber and downbound from Baraga, MI., to Tonawanda,
                 N.Y., in tow of the C. F. Curtis, when a horrific storm
                 raked Lake Superior. The C. F. Curtis had made safe harbor
                 at Munising when Capt. Jennings discovered that one of his
                 barges, the ANNIE M. PETERSON had broken loose somewhere
                 out in the storm. Leaving safety behind the CURTIS went
                 back out into the blinding storm, taking the MARVIN with
                 her in a vain, but heroic minded, search for her missing
                 tow. All three were lost to the storm leaving no survivors.
