SHIP LBMBIH 8 New Freight Steamer Founders in Lake Superior. SOLE SURVIVOR’S STORY Cargo Shifted, Causing Water to Pour Into Hatches, and Ship Went Down Quickly—Terrible Battle For Life On Raft In Angry Surf. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Oct. 14. — The big ore steamer Cypress foun dered tn Lake Superior, and out of the •raw of 23 men but one was saved. He is 0. G. Pitz. the second mate, who was washed ashore near Deer Park. Ke said that 22 persons perished, and than lapsed into unconsciousness. The Cypress was a new steel ves sel, 40 feet long, owned by the Lacka wanna Transportation company. She was making her second trip. Recovering consciousness after hours of constant nursing. Second Mato Pitz gave a graphic account of the last moments of the crew r on board the 111-fated vessel. The mate said that the Cypress was making fairly good weather in the storm, when sud denly the cargo shifted, giving the craft a heavy list. This was about 7 p. m. Saturday, w-hen she was off Deer Park. Water began pouring into the hatches and a panic ensued, many of the crew putting on life preservers. Captain Huyck, however, fell confident ho could reach shelter behind White Fish Point, and the boats were low ered. Both engine and pumps were working, and the crew felt sure the vessel would not sink without warn ing. But suddenly the big freighter rolled over on her side and almost in stantly plunged to the bottom. When the vessel rolled over, the first and sec ond mate, a watchman and a wrheels man were close to a life raft, which they cut loose and cast off just in time to escape the whirlpool caused by the Cypress as she plunged beneath the surface of the water. The four men clung to their frail support while the waves drove them toward shore. Five times in the angry surf of the rocky shore the raft was upset, the men each time having to fight the heavy undertow for their lives. Each fight weakened the benumbed and dis heartened sailors, and after the fifth battle with the surf only one of the quartet remained upon the raft. But the next time the raft was caught upon the surf it was thrown upon the beach, and Mate Pitt had just strength enough left to crawl out of reach ol the waves before he fell exhausted, where he was later found by the pa trol of the life saving station. The vessel lies in 19 fathoms ol water. Nineteen bodies in all have been recovered so far.
