IN THE STORM OF NOVEMBER 9, 1913, 26 BOATS WERE SUNK
IN THE GREAT LAKES. 13 WERE SUNK IN LAKE HURON. OF THESE
13, TWO BOATS, THE REGINA AND THE H. C. PRICE SANK IN
DIFFERENT PLACES, YET WHEN THEY FOUND THE BODIES OF
SOME OF THE REGINA'S CREWMEN, THEY FOUND THAT THE CREWMEN
HAD ON H. C. PRICE'S LIFE JACKETS. NO ONE KNOWS HOW
THAT HAPPENED.
