SEQUEL TO LAKE TRAGEDY Supposed Dead Man Turned Up Alive—“Appari- tion” Appears Among rlourners A despatch from Hamilton says: Perhaps the most extraordinary in- cident in connection with the dis- aster recorded on the Great Lakes occurred here on Wednesday. even- ing. One of the supposed victims of the marine tragedy was John Thompson, 442 John Street north, of this city. On Monday last week a telegram was reoeived by Mr. Thompson from his daughter, Mrs. Mary Ward, of Sarnia, to the ef- fect that his son, John had gone down on the James Carruthers. Learning that the bodies ofa, num- ber of the crew of the ill-fated steamship had been cast ashore a4 Kettle Point, near Gioderich, Mr. Thomas Thompson hastened there on Monday evening . to see if he could identify the remains of his son. He arrived at Goderioli at midnight., and after a nerve-wrack- ing drive he reached the place 031 the lake shore where the bodies had been carefully and tenderly laid away for the purpose of identifica- tion. Among the number wars that of a young man which correaponded so closely to that, of John Thomp- son that the bereaved father ac- knowledged it as that of his son. The only difference Mr. Tho m+pson saw was in the color of the hair, he being of the opinion th.aat his son's hair was lighter than that on the head of the corpse. On mentioning this fact to the undertaker in this city, the latter. who waa personally acquainted witli the son, said the fact that the body had been in the water so long might account kr the differenoc. Preparations for the funeral were proceeded with. Flowers, were :-sent by sorrowing friends and relatives, and a wake was to be held at night. In Walked Thompson. About six o'clock on Wednesday evening there was a knock at the. d(torr, an as no one went to answer d the door opened and in walked yrur.Ig john Thompson, alive and'. well, and strode across the ,room to take a look a4 the man in the cis.- ket. The atcel;e that ensued can be imagined: The falter and gieters were simply terrifiedout of their wits as the apparition of the dead brother, as they believed, appeared before them•, The another was et the undertaker's et the time com- pleting arrangements' for ,the fun- eral. When quiet had hee11 restos'- ed and the family was assurers that; some straege `._mistake lied been ,fademessengers were sent to the Mother to break the hews to ,her, It was eons tune before, isle import 4<i on• her, r, ,v cd of the antes ,>;genra dao �1 acid there' was a pathetic Meeting between soli and Mother. In the meantime the oorpse of the un- known occupied a place in the cas- ket in the parlor of the little home. The undertaker was summoned, and he took the remains back to his chapel. Did Net Ship on Boat. Young Thompson's story is to this effect :—He left here on Nov. 4th, but did not go on the James Carruthers as was expeoted. He left here on the Merchants Mutual steamship the Maple and went to Montreal. He was there at the time of the storm, and was totally unconscious of the fears his family. were suffering on his account. Tuesday he arrived in Toronto, and late that night he read in a news- paper of the finding of his body at Godorich and the preparations for his funeral. He reached Hamilton Wednesday afternoon, and on his way to the house called to see his friend, Edward Duffy, of the North- ern Hotel. Mr. Duffy almost col- lapsed when he saw him, as he had heard of the sad happening and had made arrangements to attend the funeral. Another remarkable coincidence in connection with this remarkable case is that there was a J. Thom,p- eon enrolled among the crew of the James A. Carruthers.
