Poetical and Rommantic Lake Solitude " _Copyrizhted, 1928 : (E. M. T. Service) - . By Joe Dermody ;

44anhC OULILUUG, odl Ldst lawas, Michigan, about three-quarters of a mile from fat Lake Huron, one of the great inland seas, has a skeleton of 2 mystery ship buried in the muck anderneath its placid waters. How the derelict came into the waters of Lake Solitude is as much an enigma 18 the presence of the ship itself. Lake Solitude is small and has no ronnection with any body of water except through a narrow two-foot stream’ that trickles into Tawas Bay and. Lake Huron during the spring of he year and dwindles to a dry bed for part of the year. - The battered old boat was in Lake Solitude when the first white settlers arrived. It was a sizeable craft, about sixty feet long, with a deck. First settlers described it as having an srnately fashioned prow, broad bows ind narrow high poop resembling the old Spanish, Portuguese and French taravel ships in the sixteeath century. Nails which held the withered old hulk together were said to have been of copper. : On Lzke’s Bottom Centurles ‘The boat has been on the bottom of Lake Solitude for decades—perhaps centuries—that old hulk of rolling; rotting upper timbers immersed in a cobwebby atmosphere of antiquity. The pioneers who came to the shores of Solitude ninety years ago saw it and wondered. Historians have wondered ever since. Tourists from every state in the Union, from provinces of Canada, from KEuropean countries and even from the Orient, (ntrigued by the romance of the mystery, annually visit the isolated lake. No one has positively ascertained what ship it was that rests upon Solitude’s bottom, or how it came to be in this inland lake. A sixty-foot vessel never. sailed into Lake Solitude by way of the two-foot wide creek, bottomed with muck. It was a derelict before white men settled in Michigan and there isB no living person who has been able to tear away the shroud of marine mystery surrounding it. : The waters of the lake have receded and the deck has rotted .away, but the keel is said to be still intact, under the water, despite the constant atirition of lake waters, winds, ice and storms. o ; | The explanation? Here is the only logical one, given some credence by historians. -~ Vessel Built in -1679 : The story starts in that epoch of derring-do when English, French and Portuguese adveniurers, explorers and voyageurs, impelled by the then human motives of conquest,discovery and regal reward, sailed the known and unknown ~seas seeking new worlds, gold, Arcadias and fountains of youth, i e : ‘ Nearly 250 years ago, when the penetratingly bitter cold of a January day in 1679 congealed the marrow of the most hardy, a little band of approximately thirty men toiled ‘wearily through the plains and haked forests on the hazardous and difficult portage around Niagara Falls, They made

up the gallant and intrepid company lwhich followed La Salle into the water wilderness of the Great Lakes. l On their backs they carried ship's furnishings from chandleries of Paris and in their hearts the high purpose of bldazing a trail into a strange and unprofaned land. . Above the falls they hewed great timbers and fashioned these timbets into the firsi salling vessel to embark on the Great | Lakes. On the vessel’s prow was lfancifu}ly carved the grotesque monster which gave the “Grifin”’ her name. Cruise Ends in Tragedy ‘ In August, the boat, which was destined to be the flagship of all the great fleet on the lakes today, set sail. But the cruise which had started so valiantly ended in tragedy—and mystery. It departed on August 7, with La Salle as commander and Father Hennepin as journallst. The Griffin made port at St. Ignaee, where Father Marquetie had establiched u mission eight years before, It cleared Michillimackinae: for Green Bay September 2, where it took on a cargo of rich furs for La Salles creditors in Montreal. La Salle sent the Griffin back to Niagara Falls while he continued on in canoes to Lake Peoria, 111. The Grifin was lost in & storm and never heard of again unless, perhaps, the wreck which lies in the wa ters of Lake Solitude is that of the ill-omened craft. The fate of the Ar‘gonauts is unknown. Great Inland Sea Covered Areas Lake Huron probably extended farther inland than the three-quarters of a mile of high timbered ridges which now separates it from Lake Solitude.. Il is definitely known that at one time what i 8 now the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan was covered by a great inland sea, and undoubtedly Lake Solitude is what geologists call a newland lake. So it is not impossible that the hulk of the Griffin -was tossed upon the shores and the water later re-| ceded, leaving only a Small lake. Pieces of metal salvaged from the old boat are of ancient workmanship. | As recently as 1900, skeletons were found in the vicinity of the boat, one with a sword thrust through it, which after much cleaning proved to bear the French Lilies and. French motto and a sixteenth century date. If the boat was the Griffin what romance hovers about the decayed old derelict? What history lies there in the salvaging? Al tiiose who know the truth perished with the Grifiin. ~ And every summer, thousands of tourists visit T.ake Solitude, described by one author-tourist as “a spot too poetic for anything but a honeymoon,” | to dream about the ancient sailing | vessel lying under the lake’s surface, resisting the didintegrating process | that always follows in the wake of | disaster and neglect and which typi- | fies to the visiting tourist from every gection of the country the valorous | and indomitable spirit of those voy-# ageurs of old who first planted the | cross and civilization in this great |
