                    Lost in what was to become known as the "Alpena Storm."
                  She was loading railroad ties at Reynold's Pier when
                  the storm set in. A pile crushed through her quarter
                  and, as she filled with water, the heavy seas carried
                  her through the pier, and she settled to the bottom in
                  the break.
                    Capt. Fred C. Moore had only recently taken command
                  of the schooner.
                  Documents surrenderd at Chicago in April, 1881 as a 
                  "Total Loss."
