Eurd, of the Lake Superior line, Lake Superior to Chicago, 3 miles this side of Skilla- galee lighthouse, at 4:30 Friday morning. The Cayuga sank twenty-five minutes later.

The bow of the Hurd was knocked clean ofi, and only her cargo of lumber kept her afloat. The only loss of life was on the Ilurd. George Johnson, the steward, was knocked overboard by the crash and was drowned. The remaining members of both crews were picked up by the Minnesota liner Ma- iiola and landed here Friday forenoon. Duo to Dcniio Foe.

There was a dense fog hanging on the lake at the time the boats came together, As they were in a dangerous locality, being on the main highway of the lakes on the passage" through the Straits of Mackinaw, a strict lookout was maintained on both vessels, but their speed was not wholly slackened. They were not over 200 feet apartwhen their signals were distinguished, and then it was too late to avoid the collision. Valuable Cargo Lost, The Cayuga went down in 15 fathoms of water, about midway between Skillagalee and Waugoshance lights. She had on board 1,500 tons of flour from Milwaukee, valued at $70.000, and 30,000 bushels of oats valued at 53,500. In addition there were a number of minor items, which will bring the total value of the cargo to about $00,000.
