Those on board the Ashland could dimly see the Tasmania. On board the Ashland the men kept from being washed into the sea only by clinging to objects on deck.

The frightful pitching made it necessary to cut the line to the Ashland, say the crew of the latter, and the Tasmania was seen no more. She seemed to sink at once. The Tasmania was one of the oldest boats on the lake, having been built at Port Huron in 1871. She was owned by the Corrigan-SlcKinney Company, of Cleveland. She was 220 feet long, and when she went down was loaded with 1,600 tons of iron ore belonging to the Pittsburg Steamship Company.
