Port Huron, Mich,, Nov, 14.—For the first time since Sunday, a day has passed without revealing more lves lost in the storm which overwhelmed the Great Lakes the early part of the week. Only one additional boat dis- aster developed today, and that was the wrecking of the steamer Major off Whitefish Point, in Lake Superior. She was abandoned by her crew last night after a futile effort had been made to weather the second storm of the week. The crew was picked up by a passing steamer. 256 Sailors Lost. Tonight the life loss among sailors is estimated at approximating 256 'and the property loss is figured at miore than §5,000,000. The property loss in- cludes the score or more of vessels driven on the rocks, or shore, and par- tially or wholly destroved. One hun- dred and ninety-five lives were taken on Lake Huron, if approximate figures are correct; forty-eight lives were lost in Lake Superior, seven. on Lake Michigan and gix in Lake Erie. Overturned Boat Not Yet ldentified. The steamers. the destruction of which entailed life loss, were: John A. McGean, Charles S. Price, James: S. Carruthers, Reginy, Wexford, Argus, Hydrus, Scott, Leafield, William Not- tingham, Henry B. Smith, Plymouth and lightship No. 82 One of the strangest features of the general disaster is the mystery sur- rounding the identity of the overturned vessel in Lake Huron just a few miles northeast of here. A diver went out again today, hoping 10 learn the name of the hoat, but high seas again pre- vented his work Steamer Matea Abandoned. Practically everyone acquainted with the situation believes the vessel is either the Price or the Regina No further details had been received up to ‘tonight concerning another ves- sel which was today reported lying bottom side up several miles north in Leke Huron.
