FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1871 VOLUME I, NUMBER 45. Serious Adventure on Lake Michigan --------- From the Racine (Wis) Journal, Nov. 7. On the fatal 8th of October, Capt. Doak, of the schooner ELLA DOAK -- the only vessel, by the way, that never lays up -- left Manistee. Owing to the dense smoke - for Manistee was burning when she sailed away - he was 48 hours in crossing the lake, but at last reached a small place on this side called Jacksonport. Here he learned the terrible news that Williams- ville had been burned, and that his sister, her husband and child had perished in the flames. He lef the vessel in charge of his small crew and proceeded to Williamsville, and there re- mained and assisted in burying 37 who had been burned to death. The crew meantime undertook to make their way to Milwaukee, but it was eight days before they arrived. The second day the captain in charge, Congor, crushed his hand in the wheel, and only two boys were left able to do duty, Charles King and Charles McGehan. They were overtaken by a terrible gale that nearly wrecked them, but bravely they struggled on, and at last brought the vessel into the harbor, though not without the loss of most of her canvass and yards, while her wheel was broken so as to be unmanageable. Only those who follow the same profession can imagine fully their suf- ferings. Conger is at the seaman's hospital in Milwaukee, where his hand was amputated. ------------------------------------------------- The steamer MANISTEE left Milwaukee Tuesday morning, at 1 o'clock A.M. for Grand Haven, with 25 passengers and a large amount of freight. When within about 20 miles of Grand Haven, Captain Sweetman put her before the wind for Chicago; made land at Evanston; thence ran down the shore to Racine, where she arrived at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning. Left Racine at 8 P.M. Wednesday, and arrived at Grand Haven at 7 A.M. Thursday. All hands report a rough trip and a heavy sea. The passengers speak highly of the skill shown by Capt. S. in handling the boat during this long and tedious trip. We understand the boat shipped no water, and the freight was damaged but slightly. ===========================================================================
