CAPTAIN AND SIX MEN LOST.

Bchooaer C. H. Hacktey Ooea Down in Lake Michigan. When the steamer Boston arrived at Milwaukee Sunday Captain McLeod reported having passed the wreck of a three-masted schooner about ten miles off shore, between Sheboygan and Milwaukee, and there is little doubt that the water-logged hulk la all that is left of the C. H. Ilnckley, which was manned by Captain Oertllng and a crew of six men aud was due at Sheboygan Friday night. That Captain Oertling and his six seamen escaped is believed impossible, as had they reached shore they would have been heard from long ago, and If adrift on wreckage they could not have survived long In the wild storm of Friday.
