                   Left her dock bound to Michigan City, Ind., heavily loaded
                 with lumber and grounded on the outside bar. At that point
                 she could have backed off but the capt. thought he could work
                 her over the bar as soon as the sea increased a little.
                 Mother Nature had other plans and set a gale upon her, swinging
                 her broadside to the wind and leaving her at the mercy of the
                 breakers. Crew from the life saving station at Muskallonge Lake
                 rowed out in the gale and took off the crew. The next
                 afternoon, as the gale was breaking up the PACIFIC, the life
                 saving crew went out again to rescue the captain's dog which
                 had been shut-up in the after-cabin and forgotten about.


                   Cut down for use as a lumber carrier at Detroit in 1887.
