Cumaoo, May lib—The storm which
swept Lake Michigan was the moat disas-
trous of recent years. Eight vessels were
driven ashore within the city limits of
Chicago. Out of their crews 10 men are
known to be drowned. and in every'in-
stance boat and cargo are utterly lost.
One schooner, the Myrtle, was wrecked
Just outside the government pier within a
half mile of Michigan boulevard, and six
men of her crew went down to death in
plain view of the hundreds of is who
lined the boulevard walks or watched the
awful storm from the windows of the big
hotels which overlook the harbor. The
wrecks extended from Glencoe on the
north, where the Lincoln Dali went to
pieces, to South Chicago, a distance of 40
miles. Following is a list of the wrecks
as near as known;
The Lost Boheoners.

List of the Drowned.
The fatalities are:
Anton Gundersou of Msnistee, seamnn
of schooner Lincoln Dali; drowned while
attempting to reach shore.
Charles Cuutlers, cook on steamer Jack
Thompson; resided in Chicago; washed
from a rope while attempting to reach
shore.
Joseph Spolau, Sturgeon Bay, mate of
J. Loomls Moliarcn; struck and killed by
a towpost torn out when the vessel broke
away from a tug.
Entire crew of the schooner Myrtle—six
men.
The first vessel to go ashore was the two
roasted schooner Jack Thompson. The
boat came from Garden Bay, Mich., and
she arrived off the breakwater early in the
afternoon without a pump working. A
tug made its way to her side and offered
her a line, but. the captain refused it, in-
tending to sail into the harbor. The task
was too much for him, however, and be-
fore he was fairly into the harbor he lost
control of his vessel, which crashed into
the Rainbow, carrying away the bow of
that boat and smashing a great hole un-
der her own bowsprit, and with her fore-
most gone she drifted rapidly south—s
pitlabie wreck. The anchor was thrown
out and for a time held fast: but, break-
ing out of the soft bottom of the harbor.
this only hope proved ineflectual, and
again the Thompson swept toward the
shore broadside on. She struck bottom fill
feet from shore. The men were rescued
by a life line thrown to them.
flow the Wrecks (incurred.
The schooner Mercury of Ludiugmn,
Mich, was wrecked off Twenty-seventh
street. An effort was made to tow her
into the harbor when alto neared the break-
water. but the wind and waves were too
strong.
The Evening Star and Jack Thompson
were already grinding to pieces on the
breakwater, and thousands of people stood
on the beach watching them. As the Mer-
cury came nearer her crew could be seen
huddled together in the bow. They were
frantically waving their anus to people on
shore.
When the schooner finally struck, an at-
tempt was made to get a line to the crew.
but in vain. ' Then one of the seamen on
board. Tout Thurston, jumped from the
vessel to some floating lumber, and after
several times going under the heavy break-
ers be was finally taken ashore. Two oth-
ers took the same chance and got safely to
shore.
A line was finally thrown from shore to
the vessel and made fast. The crowd
ashore hold it taut. and one by one the
four men, almost exhausted, climbed and
slid to safety.
The last man, Ed Sterling, was about
half way down the line when the rope
broke and dropped him into the Water
among the lumber floating smut near the
breakwater. Several persons rushed tohls
rescue, and he was. carried to shore amid
the wild cheers of the crowd.
The schmmer Lincoln Dali of Mania-tee
was driven ashore at (licence, and Anton
Gundcrsou, one of the sailors, was swept
overboard and drowned. After several
hours of waiting the rest of the now were
rescued by members of the Evanston life
saving crew. When the life saving crew
finally arrived,the wrecked sailors were
well nigh exhausted. The lifeboat was
dragged down the steep bluffs which line
the lake at Gimme, and the men were
brought off.

, second one held, and four of hsrcrewof
seven men were hauled aboard the tug.
The schooner was now so close to the
breakers thetthe tug dared follow her no
longer and steamed away. The life saving
boat as she rolled around and tried again
and again to throw a line across her, but
failed every time. At Twenty-fifth street
the sailors cut loose on small raft they
had made, and William H.11svlll, ayoung
electrical engineer. was held with a line
and swam out to the raft, then about 80
feet from the shore. ,
The lumber from the Rainbow's deck—
load was tossing on the waves, and the
young fellow, at the imminent risk of be-
ing braised by floating planks, was a long
time in reaching the raft. He finally made
his way to its side and called to Captain
John Paw to lump overboard. Pew obey-
ed. Haviil caught him, and the two men
were hauled ashore.
A negro named E. J. Willis swam out in
a manner and saved another man.
This left but one man on the raft, and
Havill was taken on the flat car once more
and carried two blocks south to where the
raft had drifted, when he again swam out
and brought of! Jacob Knudson, a seamen
living in Racine. Both men were utterly
exhausted and were taken to Mercy hospi-
tal, where Pew, who is in a critical condi-
tion from chill and exposure, had preced-
ed them. The vessel drifted ashore and
was ground to pieces.
The McLaren was grounded 100 yards
from shore. l-ier crew, commanded 'by
Captain K. Johnson, was saved by the life
saving crew. licr mate, J osoiih Spolan.
was killed by the breaking of a towpost.
His body is still among the timbers of the
vessel.
Imprisoned In the Crib.
One of the most exciting features of the
storm was the imprisonment of 27 men
who were working in the waterworks crib
off lmkcview, one mile from shore. Their
only-shelter was the timber tower erected
on the crib, and until that was washed
away the men were not believed to be in
any danger.
it was a close question for them, how-
ever. After that time water went over the
crib again and again in blinding sheets.
Crowds of people lined the shore anxiously
watching the crib, from which a distress
signal fluttered.
The contractors made frantic efforts to
get. the men away, and offered the tug
companies any amount to make the res-
cue, but the tugmen said it would be use
less to make the snort and would result
only in the loss of the tugwithout. saving
the men. As night fell the men in the crib
hung up a red lantern, which was burning
steadily at midnight, and as the wind is
gradually dying down it is believed that
all of them will be rescued.
The Myrtle, on which the chief loss of
life occurred. not a single man of her crew
of six reaching shore, was waterlogged
when she appeared off the harbor in the
afternoon. She attempted to anchor. but
was driven before the gain and struck the
schooner Evening Star, which up. to that
time had been safely riding at anchor. The
Myrtle's iibboom broke off, and drifting
away from the Evening Star she struck
the schooner Gifford, and her bows being
stove in she began to sink rapidly. She
drifted out to sea, her crew being plainly
visible as they huddled together on the
top of the cabin. fine was washed away.
A heavy wave broke over again, and then
only three were visible. One of them
jumped on a plank and floated on close to
the breakwater, where he lost his hold and
want. down. The two men on the trout
went down with her. it is known that the
captain of the Myrtle was named Wilson,
but nothing more is known of the crew.

it. was the fiercest storm that has swept
the west shore of Lake Michigan since the
crib disaster two years ago, when it lives

The Cummings and the schooner C. C.
Barnes tried tosniu the harbor early in
the day, but failed to make the piers and
weresoon drifting toward the beach on
Jones island. An unsuccessful man was
made by the life saving crew to rescue all
of the crew of the Cummings, but they
