The names of eight veteran vessel masters appear in the list of about sixty lives lost in the gale of the 14th and 15th inst. On the steamer Wocoken, two men who have given up many years to lake service were numbered among the lost. CAPT. ALBERT MESWALD of Marine City, a German by birth, and forty-five years of age at his death, was but fourteen years old when he enlisted in the Union army during the war of the rebellion, and he began sailing out of Detroit three years later. Last season he was in the steamer Huron City, and had undoubtedly figured on a prosperous future when he was able to purchase an interest in the Wocoken on the opening of the present season. CAPT. DAVID JONES, who was first mate with CAPT. MESWALD, sailed the steamer Fairbank during the early part of the season, and had been mate in seasons past on some of the best steel boats in the iron trade. ===========================================================================
