Memorable 10th of April— The following item by Mr. Kee- gan on the 'l10tlt Apr., 1880, storm, will be ofinterest to many of the older people of the vicinity; On the morning of April afith, 18'80, the sun was shining brightly, more a June day. The fishing 'boats ,of Goderich -and Bayfield sailed out from the 'harbors to lift their nets. Little did they think before the end of the day they would be fighting for their lives. About tete o'clock some of them were lifting, others hadn't tak- en a hold. The wind freshened from Ms northwest, accompanied by snow. In a short time the wind had increas- ed to a gale with a blizzard of snow. The 'boats started for 'home, running part way under bare poles, it being too dangerous to make on any can- -vas. Goderich 'boats could not make home, so they turned tail and ran be- fore sea and gale to Bayfield, but the sea was so big at the mouth of the piers they couldn't enter. They then headed for the south beach. Two boats turned over and the crews were in great danger of being ,drowned. There -were altogther seven boats on the beach. One up at Galbraith's, one mile north of the harbor. Goderich boats were owned by Allan Murray, James Clark, Robert Clark and James Wiggins. James Wiggins was near being drowned, but was held on to tine bottom of the overturned -boat by Ed .\lountray, and was finally rescu- ed by George Hackie. Another young Goderich fellow front one of the over- turned boats waded towards the beach but got confused and turned around and was wading out again when Charlie Robison, a half brother of \\'m. and John Jowett, waded in to the lake and brought him ashore. Alex (Sandy) McLean was probably the nearest drowned or any, but after being taken care of he got all right and lived until March, 11939, and died in his 83.rd year. li. Ross is the only known survivor of that '10th of April, long ago. One boat, the Lady Duff- erin, owned by John Ferguson, and. sailed by Capt. M. Ross, entered the harbor safely. Other 'Bayfield boats were the Maggie harks, Capt. Hugh McLeod; Discount, Capt. Charlie Dressler; King William, Capt. John Pollock. Imnmigration Official—"I'ni sorry, but there's been a mistake here.
