YACHTSMEN IN DANGER.

Steamer Pilgrim, with Twenty Fentons on Board, Is Missing. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 29.—The steam yacht Pilgrim, with twenty people on board, is reported missing and grave fears are entertained. She was out on Lake St. Clair during the violent storm yesterday afternoon. Since the storm subsided every possible effort has been made to locate the Pilgrim, but at an early hour this morning the search was not successful, neither could anything in the shape of wreckage be found. An hour after the yacht’s departure a violent storm swept the lake. Passing boats report no sign of a wreck. Friends of those on board are hoping that the lost boat is in shelter at some point.
