By BRUCE BOSSENBERRY t turn to Grand Bend and send men
The ninth of November will al- with' horses and wagons to pick
up the bodies and take them to
the Bend where the undertaker
would pick them up the next day.
As it was almost dark when’ wft,
got to the village, it was too late
to get anyone to make the trip,
and they were left until Wednes
day morning.
Relatives Searched For Bodies
When we got home, tired and
hungry, we heard of the finding
of about as many bodies just
about where what now is called'
“Norman Heights.” These were
off the “Wexford,” which had
been laden with grain. In all,
about 30 boats were lost with a
toll of around 300 sailors, many
of whom were never identified.
Relatives of some of these pa
trolled the -beach for days in
search and hope of finding their
loved ones.
I was at this time appointed
Wreckage Master for the terri
tory from Grand Bend to Sarnia (Lambton County), and also pa
trolled the beach for days. One
day I met a young man who had
walked from Sarnia along the
water’s edge looking for the body
of his brother. Several boys, who
were from Goderich, and, had
each lost a brother, staged with
me at the Imperial for nearly a
week, and patrolled the beach. I'
usually went after them with my
Ford each evening, after having
ascertained about' where they
would be at a given time. ' 4t
Great Wave Swallowed Boats
At the coroner’s inquest. at
Thedford, in my evidence I stat
ed that, in my opinion, one great
wave swallowed all the boats
that were lost. My reasons were i
that the man I pulled out of the :
water Was the wheelsman Of the i
“Price,” while the rest were all 1
ways stand out in my mind as it
was my mother’s birthday, the birthday of King Edward, and it
was on that day that the Great
Lakes swallowed more boats and
sailors than was ever known be
fore or since. It has sometimes
been referred to by newspapers
as Black Friday, but the storm in
1913 was actually on Sunday,
It was not a stormy day, but
some rain and large soft snow
flakes fell. In the evening it gotr
much colder, and the wind grew stronger from the north and
northwest.
I left the Imperial Hotel about
9.00 p.m. to go to the stables,
which were on the lot at that
time, to feed a horse and cow.
When I went back to the hotel I
stepped out to the street and up
the sidewalk. It was then blow
ing very hard, and I said to some
guests who were staying at the
hotel that any boat on the lake
would have a rough time.
Monday, morning was brighter,
but the wind still high, although
it had dropped" some. All we
knew apdut a storm at the time
was that the high sfias had
stripped the whole top off the
nbrth pier at breakwater. This
was built of' 12 x 12 timbers
spiked together with1 one-inch
spikes about two feet long, and
topped with three-inch planks
spiked down with nine-inch spikes
_and a 6 x 6 inch piece spiked
"down over the ends of the plank
top, which was almost completely
torn off, and all of which lay in
a scattered pile on the flats on
the south side of tfte river, where
the fish shanties and boats now
are.
No Hint Of Wreckage
Monday evening nothing was
known of any ship being wrecked
or lost. Tuesday morning was a
very nice morning and brighter.
About nine a.m.’ Peter Ravelle,
who lived’ this side of Maple
GroVe, came to the village via
the beach and up to the Imperial,
and said to me. “Let us go down
the beqch, as there was. quite a
storm -and may-be some wreck
age on the shore.”
I hitched up the horse and we
crossed the bridge and went down
through what is now Sduthcott
Pines, as far as a fish shainty,
owned by Mrs. Harry Gill and
John Welch. There we went to
the beach, and it was strewn with
bales of hay and some coal oil
barrels, also lumps of flour in
■all'Sizes that had bden spilled
from flour barrels. We had tra
veled a short distance wlfen I
could see a large steamer very
'close in to shore near Port
Franks. At this time it was snow
ing small frozen snow for a few
minutes, then clearing up again.
When I pointed out the boat to
Peter, he said “Perhaps we
would find half' a dozen dead
men,” and I said, °It would not
surprise me either.” In just a
few moments I spied the first
man lying near the water’s edge,
wearing a lifebelt, but not too
warmly dressed. Presently we
found some more, and these were also very lightly dressed. In fact,
one man had apparently been a
cook and had on only light troii-
Sers and Underwear, and an ap
ron.
Finds Wheelman Of New Boat
Then I saw -another in the
water. I went out over my boot
tops (rubber boots) and pulled
him in. This was the wheelman
on the “Price.” He must have
been on duty. He Iliad on one rub
ber boot and overcoat and- ah
oiler over that—one boot off and
cap floating near. The “Price**
was a iiew .steel boat in its first
year on the lakes.
The rest of the men,were off
the “Regina.” Ill all we had
picked up nine or eleven men and
took them by the shoulders and
hauled them Some distance/back
from the water’s edge, so that
■they would not be washed away
if the wind and sea came uji
again.
Here we ihet the ' undertaker
and the coroner from Thedford,
also the hotelman and a farmer
from # hear Port Frank. They
knew nething about - atiy ships
being wrecked, but knew that the
“Northern Queen” was on the
sand bar cldse to shore near the
mouth of the river at Port Frank.
The Coroner looked the bodies
oyer for identification. and Val
uables, and as some of the pack
ets wetfe left turned inside out,
some persons who came to the
beach later started a'report that,
the bedics had been robbed of
all valuables, The Toronto Globe
and Mail beard this yarn, and
called me about it, but I straigh
tened that cut,
The coroner ordered us to re*

In answer to toe question, “Do
you think that the marketing of

Car Accident
Two men were'sent to St Jqs*
eph’s Hospital last Monday
night following a three car col
lision on No, 7 Highway at Edge
wood, Lawrence Phenner, 39, of
Toronto received head and chest
injuries and George Ellacott, 22,
of Brussels, bruises and a had
shaking up. The third driver,.
Wilfred Grosth, of Stratford, was
unhurt*
off the “Regina”, and I still be
lieve this happened near the
western or Michigan side of the
lake, as the “Price” came to
“Blue Point,” which is quite a
it WaV ’iWnd -bottom up. The
wheelsman must - Rave been
thrown or jumped fronii his boat
to the “Regina,” or was thl’QWn
overboard, ’ and the “Regina”
must have gone down in a very>
short, time, or else he would not
have been with' the .4‘Regina”
' crew. z
At the inquest: held in Gode
rich (Huron County), a Capt.
Bassett, whom I never met por
Spoke to, gave almost the same
evidence as I had given at the
inquest at Thedford. ' '
Also, the timbers that were
torn off the breakwater were, aS
I said, in one pile, taken oft by
one great wave, 'which pushed
them up the river, where they
were left when the wave receded,
if these timbers had been torn
off. otherwise, throughout the
night, they would have been scat
tered all the way from Grand
Bend to Kettle Point.
- About 15 years later I was
with several fiends from Sarnia
and Forest at Meaford, and we
got a man with a motor boat to
take us out in the bay to fish. I
asked this man where Johnston’s
Post Office was in that part of
the country, and he pointed out
the location. He asked me why I
made the enquiry, anif'T told, him
that I pulled the wheelsman off
the-Steamer “Price” out of the
water, and that his was the only
body to come to shore from that
boat. I said his name was1 Mc
Guire, and his home was at or near this post office. The boat
man told me he was a cousin of
the man I had pulled out of the
lake.
