Hundreds are on the point of star vation. Is Is declared. Until Daybreak the Ship-Wrecked Crew Remained la the Forward CaMas and Pilot Houses and Then Began an Anxious Search of the Horizon for Passing Vessels. * ^ In the wreck of the steamer Geo Stone, of Cleveland, Ohio, on Point Pelee, Ont., Wednesday, upper Lake Erie added a gruesome chapter to the history of marine disasters on the great lakaa. Six lives were lost and twelve were saved. Wednesday night the tall and of ths recent gale lash ed a hopelessly broken vessel that was xot Insured and belonged to M. A. Bradley of Cleveland. The six victims lost their lives when Captain Paul Howell Peter Dal ey of Erie, Pa., who was a passenger, and six members of the crew were capslsed in the surf, attempting to go ashore for assistance. Two of the crew clung to the over-turned boat four hours until they drifted ashore. The wooden steamer George Stone began to feel the effect of the South west gale about 8:30 Monday evening and at midnight she began a desper ate battle for life. All day Tuesday she fought val iantly against the storm but towsrdl evening It became apparent that the pumps were unequal to the task of removing the water that poured Into the hole through the seams opened by the buffeting of the waves. About nine p. m. the captain and crew realized that the storm had taken the vessel out of their control. About 2:30 a. m. the Stone struck w th a terrific Jar upon the sand bar known as Orubba Reef nearly five miles off the western shore of Point Pelee. Until daybreak tbe ship wrecked crew remained In the forward cabins and pilot houses and then began an anxious search of the horizon for pnsslug vessels. One man w - as sent aloft with a bed sheet which he waved from the forward mast. But though three or four steamers came within sight none responded to the signal of distress Fire added to the dangers of the situation at this point, the pilot house being burned to the deck. Towards nine o'clock a m. Wed nesday the danger of the vessel be ing broken to pieces became acute and Captain Howell picked hls crew for an attempt to reach sh*re In one of the small boata, when almost out side the zone of danger a mountain comer capsized her and left her eight passengers struggling In the icy breakers.
