compared with 119. is shown in
the records of shipping companies
here. During 1920 there were
eiirht vessel losses and 29 lives
lost, against 19 vessel losses anu
8 lives lost the preceding year.
;Tne 29 persons who lost their
lives last year perished when the
steamer Superior City sank In
Lake Superior off Whitef ish point.
This occurred on the night ol
August 20 after a collision with
the steamer Willis L. King.
The collision is said to have
ben du? to a fos?. The Superior
City sank so quickly after the
collision it was found impossible
to launch boats, according to the
stories of four survivors. One of
those lost was a woman, wife of
the second engineer.
, Oth?r vessel losses in 1920
were:
The Mary A. McGregor, fire?
The J. M. Shrigley, abandoned;
The Marion, fire; The Sarno.

The sinking of the.Widlar fur
nished one of the most dramatic
pages in the history of Great
Lakes disasters, although no lives
were lost. The ship was driven
on the- rocks near Wbitefish Point
during a storm that swept the up

Arthur Forbes, of Ashtabula, O.,
in command of the WIdlar, set
out in a' small boat with a few
men for the channel to bring help

and rescue ships went - to the
wreck and saved all members of
the crew. The Widlar has been
abandoned by her owners to the

Literally thousands of. applica
