^Mrhe Man Whom the Storm Haunted.
Nenr the northern end of Lake
Michigan, w here the bluff-bowed ore-
c arriers and the big, low-lying, whent-
laden steel freig h ters from Lake Su­
perior push out from the S tra its of
M ackinac and dispute the right of
way, In the Island-divided channel,
w ith the white-and-gold, electric-light­
ed, wireless-equipped passenger steam ­
ers bound for D etroit and Buffalo,
th ere Is a copse of pine and hemlock
back from the shingly bench. I-'rom
this copse—dark, blue, prim eval, silent
a t most tim es a s when the G reat Maul-
tou ruled Ills inland w aters—there
comes a t tim e of storm a sound like
the booming of an old Indian drum.
T his drum heat, so the tradition says,
whenever the lake took a life ; and,
as a sign perhaps th a t it is still the
Mnnitou who rules the w aters In spite
of all the commerce of the cities, the
drum still b eats its roll for every ship
lost on the lake, one beat for every
life.
So—men say—they hgard and count­
ed the heatings of the drum to thirty-
five upon the hour when, ns afterw ard
hey learned, the great steel steam er
l enota sank w ith . tw enty-four of Its
crew and eleven passengers; so— men
say—they heard the requiem of the
five who went down w ith the sclitniner
( ¡ r a n t; and of the seventeen lost with
the Susan H a r t ; nnd so of a score of
ships more. Once only. It Is told, has
the drum counted wrong.
At the height of the g reat storm of
December, 1895,' the drum heat the
roll of a sinking ship. One, two,
three—the hearers counted the drum
heats, tim e and again, in th e ir inter­
m itten t booming, to tw enty-four. They
w aited, therefore, for report of a ship
lost with tw enty-four lives; no such
news came. The new steel freighter
Miwaka, on her maiden trip during
the storm with twenty-five— not tw en­
ty-four—aboard never m ade h e r p o r t;
no news w as ever heard from h e r; no
w reckage ever w as found. On this ac­
count, throughout the fam ilies whose
fathers, brothers and sons were the
officers and crew of the Miwaka. there
stirred for a tim e a desperate belief
th a t one of the men on the Miwaka
s sa v e d : th a t somewhere, somehow,
was alive and m ight return. The
day of the destruction of the Miwnka

Storm —the stinging, frozen sleet
slash of the F ebruary no rth er whis­
tling down the floe-jammed length of
the lake— was assaulting Chicago. So
heavy was th is frost on the panes of
the F o rt D earborn club—one of the
staid est of the down-town clubs for
men—Dint the g reat log fires blazing
on the open hearth s added appreciable
light as well as w arm th to the rooms.
The few m em bers present a t this
hour of the afternoon showed by their
lazy a ttitu d e s and the desnltoriness
of th eir conversation the dulling of
v itality which w arm th and shelter
bring on a day of cold and storm . On
one. however, the storm lind had a con­
tra ry effect. W ith sw ift, uneven steps
h e paced now one room, now a n o th e r;
■from time to Dine he stopped ab-
Ty by a window, scraped from It
i finger nail the frost, sta red out
or an Instant through the little open-
ng he had made, then resum ed as nh-
‘ruptly hi* nervous pacing with a man­
ner so uneasy and distrau g h t that,
since his arrival a t the riub an hour
before, none even among those who
knew him heat had ventured to speak
Í•
to hint.
