It will be seen that the total number far exceeds any former year. Instances of vessels having grounded at various points where the expense of getting off varied from ten to fifty dollars, and numbering ninety-four cases, being secondary in importance, have been purposely omitted, and with those recalled, swell the grand total of disasters for the season of 1867 to 931. Seven propellers have been lost while thirty three grain vessels have passed out of existence, to which may be added thirty more which were engaged exclusively in the lumber trade. Fifteen ves- sels engaged in the grain traffic the past year have been condemned, and unless rebuilt, will have to fall back to the stave or lumber freighting. That omissions may be found, we do not doubt, but on the main our compilations may be considered not far out of the way: MARCH: Prop BARBER, burst steam pipe off Point Au Sauble, Lake Michigan.
