I met an old friend last *eek
- the one - or rather 'one of
the ones' who seems to be
always doing something unusual.
Well, she wasn't doing anything
unusual' at this time but, while
we were talking,she was kidding
about things she should have
done - and they were many!
One -thing we laughed about but
has really stuck in my mind is
this little ,item: One of the first
things my mother told me after I
was married was that I should
deceive my husband! Oh, it was
o.k. - and all for everyone's best
interests - especially mine - as
it was, to be our 'life saver.'
From all and any money my
husband gave me I was to
stash away 10%. Now this was
not ,to just BANK this amount
for our savings account, it was to
be banked and forgotten -
hidden - secret - to be kept as
my own and to be used only for
That great emergency - like a
decent evening gown or a better
'fur coat or if you were really
strong you could hold on and
bring it out when you needed
-that-down-payment-forlust-the-
nght house!
I know it works, because
mother and dad went thro' the
depression, lost their business -
and what •• did mother do?
Bought a new chesterfield and
rug and other items! She said she
could see they would be sitting
around doing nothing for some
time and she wanted to be
comfortable while they were
doing it! This was mother's
, philosophy "- an& she -never

She scrimped and saved and we
never seemed to be well off but
gtill we seemed to have all the
good things. I really feel mother

now I am sorry I couldn't have
had her strength and foresight!
So, now we wish we had the
down payment for a 'real buy'
instead of the dozens of things
that are of no great value now."

Huron Histori Corner
(Continued From Pae 4)
The storm played no favorites as regards age or size. The "James
Carruthers," 550 feet long, had been launched at Collingwood only
that spring, and had been built with a particular eye to strength and
seaworthiness. The -Wexford," on the other hand, was the oldest of
'all thOse, lost, having been built in Britain in 1883, and,was only half
the length of the "Carruthers."
There have been other gales since that of November 11-12, 1940,
being particularly :vidre-nt,.,but then only two ships were lost, and a
total of 67 lives. The main reason for the disparity may be found in
the improved 'methods :/, of weather prediction, the radio
direction -finding equipment by then carried In most ships, and the
greatly improved system of hatch covers installed in most of them.
Add war -developed radar to these improvements, and the likelihood
of a: 1913 -style catastrophe happening again is very small.
O Vessels sunks were the Charles S. Price, with 28 lives; James
Carruthers, 24 lives; Isaac M. Scott, 28; John A. McGean, 23; Argus,
24; Hydrus, 24; Wexford, .18; Regina, 25; Leafield, 18; Henry B.
Smith, 23; the barge Plymouth, seven; U.S. Lightship Number Eg,
six. Stranded and a total losslniere the barge Halsted, the Howard M.
Hanna Jr.,. L. C. Waldo, Louisiana, Major, Matoa, Turret Chief.
Stranded and salvaged later were Acadian, A. E. Stewart, D. 0. Mills,
F. G. Hartwell, Fulton, G. J. Grammer, H. B. Hawgood, Huronic, J.
M. Jenks, J. T. Hutchinson -Mathew Andrews, Meaford, Northern'
Queen, Pontiac, Saxona, Scottish Hero, Victory, W. G. Pollock and •
the William Nottingham.
Whaf actually happened to the ships sunk on Lake‘ Huron 'will
likely never. be known. With wind velocities in the vicinity of 75
m.p.h., waves were running as high as thirty 'feet or• more, sufficient
to tear off hatch covers and fill and laden ship in a few minutes.
Some may even have collided in the blinding snow. HoW the "Price" -
turned turtle rather than foundering like the Others, has been. a
matter for wnjecture ever since. The best guess may be that her
cargo of coal shifted as she rolled, carrying her all the way over and
smashing its. way through her hatches as: she went., There would thus
be sufficient air trapped in her bottom to keep her afloat. •
-" Some may have struck .Six Fathoms Bank, a shoal not far from
steamer rbutesAibout mid point in Lake Huron. The wear and tear
on machinery must have been terrifii . and perhaps some parts failed
to take the strain. Steel plates may have fractured and buckled
'
letting the lake water pour into toaden holds.
O The storp :forecast of southwest winds shifting to northwest,•gale
force, is not actually a bad forecast for Lake HurOn, either tip -bound
or,down-bound, as ships can hug the vest shore and be in the lee.
except for crossing _Saginaw Bay. But the sudden wind shift on noon
of the Sunday when it Veered to the north and blew up to 75 miles
an hour, together with blizzard conditions and'temperatures below
-.freezing appears to have been too much for the. ships. The wind
abated at about 10 p.m. They were lost. during this time period.
Ships weathered the gale, some up, some down, and came 41
safely. The experience of some of -these is a saga itself. The J. H.
Sheadle turned four. times and came through practically unscathed.
But her sound :lead had been kept going at 15 minutes intervalS for
16 hours._ Another master kept his ship head to wind by using
engines just enough to give steerage way, sometimes with engines at
full speed ahead.
The seamen did not have the equipment of present day shipping-.
No gyro compass, no radar, no direction finder, no echo sounder, no
radio telephone. The combination of the elements even deprived
them of the three Ls - the sailors standby - Lead, Log and
Lookout. Men couldn't stand on the frozen decks, the log, towed
astern.froze and was carried away.
The 'frigid:temperatures in some cases were damaging; in others it
meant salvation as the hatches and tarpaulins became coated with
thick ice' which gay.e added protection against the smashjng force of
giant waves.
The stories of heroism and devotion to duty are many, by ships
crews, coastguard and by rescuers on shore.
Thereliave-been-bad•-storm-s-sinee-1-9-1-3-17in-
to I I in. lives and ships was not as 'great and perhaps will .never be
again,but the tale goes on. The seas on t,he Great Lakes are not as
high as 'on the oceans, but high winds and bitter cold take their toff
and there are few, if any, years that some fresh water sailor does not
pay with his life.
