The City of Duluth lies 300 feet from thore, grounded high upoa the sandbar which Is supposed to have sent the lost Chlc ora to her doom three years ago. The waves are running riot through the hull of the ruined vessel, and each fresh onslaught oZ the water tears the old and battered planks of the time worn ship from their rusted fastenings. Mrs. William Tryon, a pesscnger on the luckless boat. Is dying, frozen fatally while pacing through the splashing, chilling surf and the Icy morning air on the trip ashore. Otherwise all of her thirty people, passengers and crew, have been rescued safely from the shat tered boat. For seven hours the frightened pas sengers faced the death which seemed every moment certain to sweep them under. . The beat struck upon the bar at 10 o'clock at night, a terriOc gale and the heavy seas making good seamna shlp Impossible and carrying the ves sel, despite the utmost efforts of the crew, full upon the sand.' For a few minutes ' after the beat struck there was a pa nk on board. Then as the surge carried away every thing mova ble and began to rip off the planking, the crew regained their courage and set about the work of saving themselves and their passengers. Three Women tin I tour d. Three women, cne 75 years of age. and another a cripple, were among the passengers and Captain Dcnald McLain ordered every care to be given them. The waves were running too high to risk the launching of a boat, even with the shore but 300 feet away, and It soon became evident that the people of the City of Duluth would have to cling to the Vreck as best they cculd till help Came from the land. Every moment Increased the hcrror of the situation. The cargo of oats In the hold, soaked with flying spray, be gan to swell and force apart the wood en partitions. Every succeeding h'gh sea carried off more or lera cf the wood work of the boat. Under the bottom the sand could be heard grating and growllng,'crunchlng at the 6cmed hi' 11. Memories of the Chlcora e: "of the oth ir boats'vttTteh went fort!. . :rn the In land sea never to rt' - , r rer.ch the shore came thick and . '' Ihj dark ness and the crash or .ri.x Lights gleamed through the iU.mi from St. Joseph and It was evident r .it the peo ple of the town were asli. ard doing everything In their power to y.ave the victims of the storm. Tugs put- out from the. harbor. The rush. of warn over whelmed them, and they had to put back or go down in the deep. The life saving crew, with all their apparatus for Just such emergencies, gathered along the shore and worked for hours. The Hoat Split Eeng-thwUe. Again and again they struggled . to reach the hoat, but had to abandon each attempt and retire to the friendly beach. .Hour after hour went "by and the boat was spilt lengthwise, through and through, as by a giant wedge drlv on with great power At 5 o'clock when it seemed as If the wreck must soon fall asunder and send all the thirty hapless ones aboard to death, a life line fell upon1 the decks and a breeches buoy followed. No time was to be lost and none was wasted. The women were first placed In the buoy. Then, with In finite labor, but with superb euccess. the crew and passengers were sent ashore, and the thirty were saved from the grip of the water. The boat now lies In fragments on the bar and Is pounding to tiny pieces be neath the fury of the storm. The boat was leased by the Graham & Morton company from the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior Transportation company, and was twenty-four years old. Its value was probably not over 140,000, ful ly Insured, while the cargo was Insured for. $10,000. Both boat and cargo, of course, will be a total loss. FULL TO THE bUll-CELLAR.
