                   Enroute from Superior, WI., to Grand Marias, MN with
                 provisions. Ran onto a submerged rocky point at Grand
                 Marias but lifted off by the heavy seas and backed out 
                 into deep water, soon going over on her side. The masts 
                 were cut away and she righted herself but was taking on
                 water. Efforts to rescue the men were driven back by
                 the wind and waves as the STRANGER was driven out into
                 the lake and vanished.
