                        Str. Leafield is Aground;
                        Fears Felt For Her Crew;
                        Huronic is Off Sand Bar
                        
                        (By The Associated Press)
                        
  Fort William, Ont., Nov. 12 - Fears today were expressed for the steamer
Leafield, aground on Angus Island beyond Thunder Cape by officers of the
passenger steamer Hamonic.  The tug J. T. HORNE made two trips out but was
unable to find any trace of the LEAFIELD.  Marine men believe she slid off
the rocks and sank at once as she was loaded with steel rails.
  The LEAFIELD was a steel boat of 2,000 tons capacity built in 1892 and
used in carrying steel rails from the Soo.  She was four days overdue here
and has never been reported since leaving the Soo.  She carried a crew of
fifteen men.
  The steamer NOTTINGHAM is aground on Parisian Island, 20 miles from
Whitefish bay.  Her bottom is gone.  The NOTTINGHAM is owned by the Great
Lakes Transportation Company of Cleveland. Her gross tonnage is 4,234.
  The Canadian Pacific railroad steamer ALBERTA which has lain for four
days at anchor in Whitefish bay, arrived this morning as did the HURONIC
which was on a sand bar at Whitefish bay two days.  There will be no
shortening of the season of navigation by the marine department despite
severe damage from the storm of this week, J. G. McPhail, commissioner of
lights, stated today.  He said the government would maintain all light-
houses with the exception of eight or ten until navigation ceased which,
on Lake Superior, will be about December 14, and on the lower lakes a
little later.
