She w'as an old craft, valued at about $1,000, had seen her best Ji*y"i IHK' many expressed them¬ selves as not suipilscd when it was nn nounced that she was gone. A little fresh Interest has been awakened In her by the discussion of a suit at law In which she .mis tlie"bone ot contention " Nearly n decade ago she was owned by Captain <Iu|m(tcrlach, of this elly, who still liusowueiship in quite a number of vessels sailing these lakes, the schooner Eli/a Gerlaeh, as may be easily surmised, being among tlm number A the lime UicSejiblid was'owned by Captain Ger- hieli anothui vcssclrnan took a fancy to her us being the boat he wuntcd lor"certain pur¬ poses, and Htiallv.il sale was made to him Captain hohoneinan, the puiehaser, agiceing to pay (he sum ol $4,8(10 for hi r, and $50 of I (he puichase motie\ was at once paid down I to "bind the haigaln " At the moment this tiaiiMiction wlis taking plat e, [lit \tssel liei- sellwasona Viyagi, and Ilie lein.u k was nuidt by bomc one sii^g^stliig tlie posslhllily ol accident, to w Idch Ilie puiclmsei icpllcri that wiutbci she went ashore ot weir doueu bhe was Ills \ckscl, sjieh was his coulldente that no iiiisloiiiinQ would take placet Iftil hen his (oullduice was mi-phiced, asnbe sloiy shows, loi'the baigaiu had htcn iimde and a hiiinlPsiinj ol moue\ paid, yit beliile the papeib touvtviug tlie ptopeily bad beuu signed on Ilie next day, although they had been written out, K telcgiam came announcing that thu ship Iimi gone ashoic (ii this toiidilion of tilings, and though he had sold Ihe piopeity Captain Ucrlach did (he woik ol icleaslug her, mid In duu time she was onee more pul atlo.it.
