Steamship to Rescue Forest Fire Victims
Beav er Bay reports a town on Lake Superior’s north shore near Duluth to be engulfed by fire with no hope of saving it. The steamship America is dispatched to rescue inhabitants believed to be on rafts on the lake. The town, population about 100, has swelled with interior forest refugees. A wall of fire advances from the interior toward the shore as residents build boats and await evacuation by water.
