Show The propeller Menominee is reported by her captain to have encountered, in mid lake, on Tuesday night, a thick cold cloud which burst on her decks, covering them with snow and slush to the depth of six inches. For five minutes the atmosphere was like that of winter, but as the steamer was moving rapidly she came into warmer temperature. This event is unprecedented, but the accuracy of the facts is vouched for by other officers and passengers, and the story is corroborated by the thermometric condition of the night. |
