In marine rircles it is believed that the string of twenty-oight cars became loose as tho ferry was buffeted about and that the water rolled into the vessel's stern, which is wide open. This seems plausible in view of the fact thnt the ion was rolling from tho north, the most dangerous on Lake Michigan, while the steamer was heading southwest by south. COL I.
