                   Tied up at the Halsted street bridge, Chicago, awaiting
                repairs in the spring when a passing propeller swung into
                her, holing her just above the water line. As heavy snow
                accumulated on her deck she careened over. Her masts,
                stretching across the river, were cut away as a hazard to
                navigation. Final enrollment surrendered at Chicago on 11
