On • Sunday afternoon.
Noy. 9, 1913 Lake Huron
was swept by . that
terrible wind and snow
storm without warning as
two weather fronts, met
over it, One was reported
as coming up from the
Gulf of Mexico laden with
moisture and the other
one from the northwest
with frigid air. Waves
reached heights between
50 and 100 feet. Visibility
in the swirling snow was
zero.- The lake was
described as boiling.,
Before the afternoon
was over eight large
boats had gone dm:yn with
more than 250 sailors
losing their lives.
Just three years old
and back home' to the
sixth. .concession after
spending the summer of
1913 on Princes Street in
Kincardine the writer
remembers the barn on
the, Lame Sandy
MacDonald just to the
east of our ' place losing
part of its roof.
The big new James
Carruthers ship loaded
with over three hundred
thousand bushels of
wheat in Fort William
just two days before went
down not far from Point
Clark. It had been
launched on. May 22, 1913
at Collingwood. ;The old
ocean going Wexford
missed Goderich harbour
and its different sounding
whistle was heard from
two to four but nobody
could help. it went down
near B.ayfield.
The first bodies from
the Carruthers were
brought to the. John B.
Martyn Funeral room,
'now 'a .part of thellarOld
Courtney Seed Plant on
the Main Street east of
Ripley.-- 'Later John -
Fowler with his team of
horses and wagon
assisted by Billy..Ferris
took them to. Goderich.
Bodies found afterwards
by Dave Campbell were
taken directly from
Amberley to Goderich.
Two coal boats up bound
on the lake from
Cleveland , went down
near Kincardine - one out
by Boiler Beach and the
other past the Pavilion.
Last Friday was the
last day in the month -
and as Oct. 31, it was the
time for the annual
Halowe'en. Well the
writer expressed the hope
in last week's column
that the weather would be
warm and dry. It was dry
but with an autumn chill
in the air. It was ideal' for
the girls and boys making
their ways from house to
house collecting such
treats as candies, apples,
gum and so on, It is
always nice to have the
children around and to
see them along the
streets.
Just one case of
mischief was reported
upstreet on Saturday
morning, the use of black
tar or black paint at Mrs.
Grace Carruth'er's
grocery store and John
Kosmerly's hardware
store. Some thought that
it was the work of those
totting froth' some other
place. So on beht4t t
people in this area Ab
Elsie get ready was her
daughter Mrs., Barbara
Parber of Norwood .east
of. Peterborough. On
Thursday evening, Oct.
,30, Mrs. Zilla Hedley held
a farewell party with the
neighbourhood ladies
gathering Ibr an evening
of cards and a presen-
tation. Making the
presentation of gifts to
Mrs. Forrester was Mrs,
Marjorie Thompson.
Ripley folks wish Elsie
well in her new home,
