ploy his Co-flack brigade merely as a
guard over tho life of the shah.

ment that ho would not again return to

for the treatment be received whilo in

Tho Scott, although badly damaged
about the bows, put back to this port,
where she arrived this afternoon with
part of the crew of the Cowle. A
heavy fog was responsible for the col
lision. The Scott, a new boat on her maiden
trip to the head of the lakes, had just
passed the light at Whitfish Point, and
straightened out her course up the
lake, when she suddenly saw the Cowle
loom up through the fog, broadside on
and only a few feet away.
The Cowlo was down bound with
0,000 tons of iron in the bold. For 15
feet the bow of the Scott penetrated
tho side of the Cowle. Ton of water
rushed into the great opening and in
three minutes the Cowle had settled.
Immediately after the collision a line
was thrown from the deck of the Scott
to the forward deck of the Cowle, and
three members ot the crew escaped to
the deck of tho up bound boat by this
means.
The rest of the crew who were saved
jumped from tho sinking steamer into
the lake, mo without life preservers,
and were picked up by the Scott.
