Marie, Ont., Dec. 11.-- The mystery surrounding the disap- pearance of the steamer Clemson was cleared up when a water barrel and cork jacket were thrown on the shores of Lake Superior and found by a searching 'party near Crisp Point, yesterday. The water barrel bore the name "D. H. Clemson." There re- mains, ther e, no doubt that the Clemson ws lol in the storm of De: eember ,. not long aiter parting compan? with the steamer Brown. The graveyard of ihe lakes, however, has not cast up its dead, and it is not expecicd that any bodies will. be found. The opinion now is borne out that the Clemson must have sunk soon after striking the squall and without warning, the crew of twenty-five men possibly all being inside away from the cold and storm. The Michigan locks were not closed yesterday; although it was announced by Superintendent Sabin that they would be. Instead, they will be kept open until next Monday or perhaps a day or so later. There are a number of freighters at Duluth and Fort. Wil- lian loading for the lower lakes and |THE 5 P.M. EDITION several others aro up-bound.
