        Special to The Times
        Leamington, Nov. 22 - This morning about 5 o'clock the Chauncey Hurlburt, a steam barge, was driven 
        aground by a storm which raged here last night.  The crew of thirteen were all saved.  The vessel was
        loaded with pig iron from Manistique, Mich.,  for Buffalo.  It is on hard sand , and is expected to go to pices 
        soon.  It is owned by J. O. Tegan, Detroit, and sailed by Captain Parsons.  The Hurlbert had in tow the
        D.C. Clint, a small barge , which broke away in the storm.  It is supposed to be wrecked, and the crew 
        of eight probably drowned.
        Another barge, name unknown,  went aground at Point Pelee.  The crew of 22 were rescued by the 
        Point Pelee life-saving crew.
