A FEARFUL STORM
IN WHICn OVER ONE HUNDRED SOULS FINDI
WATERY GRAVES.
A dispatch from Lake City, Minn.,
B8VS : Sunday night just before dark a
disastrous cyclone bore down upon this
community, and in a few minutes nearly
two hundred people were killed. A lit¬
tle before dark a terrific wind struck the
village, driving every one in doors. Trees
" iprooted, buildings wrecked, and
were u
much damage done in the short time the
storm lasted. In a few moments th*
news was abroad that an excursion boat,
with over 200 people on it was cap¬
sized in the middle of Lake Pepin.
The boat was the steamer Sea Wing,
which had on hoard an excursion party
to the encampment of the First Regi¬
ment National Guards of Minnesota,
which was being held a mile below the
city. The steamer started back on the
homeward trip, when the storm struck
her. The boat was crowded to its fullest
capacity, about 150 men, women and
children from Rea Wing and Diamond
Bluff being on board, and about 50 peo¬
ple on a barge which was attached to the
side of the steamer. In live minutes
more the waves began to dash into the
boat and bill the lower decks, while
hailstones as large as hen’s eggs came
down on the heads of the people who
were huddled together ou top. A huge
wave struck the craft on one side at the
same moment that a terrific blast of wind
came up, and carried the boat over. All
of the people on board, one hundred and
fifty or more, were thrown into the water,
some being caught underneath and others
thrown into the waves. The boat turned
bottom upwards, and only about twenty-
live people were observed floating
upon the surface. These caught
hold of the boat and climcd
up on the unturned bottom, those first
securing a position assisting twenty-live others. In
ten minutes more the or sc
who had obtained safety on the boat
could observe no others of the boat's
crew or passengers floating on the surface
of the continuing high sea of waves, but
it was impossible for those who witnessed
the horrible sight to lend any aid. Those
remaining began calling for help Iroin
the shore, iSoon the storm began tc
abate, and in half an hour lights were
observed flitting about on the shore at
" opposite which point
hake upturned City, had
the steamer now
drifted. Before help could reach it
however, the poor creatures who yet. re¬
mained to tell the horrors of the night
were again submitted to another battle
with the elements, With no word ot
warning, and as they were just beginning off by
to hope that they would be taken
the citizens of Lake City, the boat again
turned over, this time on its
side, and again all of
the twenty-five remaining these, souls
were hurled into the water, Of
several were drowned before they could
be brought to the boat by those who suc¬
ceeded in remaining afloat and again
securing holds ou the boat’s side. The
latest reports say that sixty persons it are is
known to have been saved, and
though? the death roll may be inside ol
one hundred.
