                   The TWO BROTHERS stayed out too long as the barometer
                 dropped, lifting and pulling their nets on the last day
                 before the close of season. As the tug neared the piers
                 witnesses saw her picked up on the crest of a high comber
                 and dashed against the south pier. Another swell lifted
                 the TWO BROTHERS and smashed her bow down well on top of
                 the south pier, splitting it from end to end along the
                 keel. August Christianson and Tony Johnson lept into the
                 raging lake from the tug's stern and were swept out into
                 the lake. Ole Elleheimer hung on to the top of the cabin
                 until the tug sank, going down stern first.
